New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore has been charged with throwing his daughter's mother to the ground, officials said Wednesday, in the second allegation of violence that has come to light against a member of the playoff-bound team in as many days.

Barmore, 26, faces one count of misdemeanor assault and battery on a family or household member, records in Attleborough District Court in Massachusetts showed.

Barmore is set to be arraigned Feb. 3, the Tuesday of Super Bowl week in and around Santa Clara, California.

The victim is 31-year-old woman who shares a 2-year-old daughter with Barmore, Mansfield Police Sgt. John Armstrong said in a report.

The incident is alleged to have happened Aug. 8, the day of New England's first preseason game of the 2025 campaign. Barmore did not play in the 48-18 exhibition win over the Washington Commanders.
