The altercation became physical after an argument, and the woman has alleged that Parker 'pushed her, struck her in the face, then grabbed her neck and applied pressure which impeded her ability to breathe normally.'
The outlet reported that the woman 'sustained bruising and bleeding to her mouth' and that she met with Memphis police investigators on Tuesday, where she said she was 'fearful for her safety.'
The basketball player also reportedly broke the woman's iPhone, ABC 24 reported.

'The University of Memphis is aware of the situation and cannot comment on an active investigation,' the school told The Commercial Appeal in a statement.
Parker's arrest comes just days after the NCAA placed Memphis athletics on probation for the next two years after an investigation found that an academic advisor paid two softball players to help a men's basketball player with coursework.
The NCAA ultimately fined the school $30,000 for adviser Leslie Brooks paying two softball players a total of $550 to help the hooper with his assignments during the winter of 2024.

The probationary period begins immediately and does not conclude until July 15, 2027.
'We are pleased to have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution by the NCAA Committee on Infractions and the University of Memphis,' university president Bill Hardgrave said in a statement. 'I would like to thank our staff who worked swiftly and collaboratively with the NCAA to take appropriate action and implement corrective measures.
'The University of Memphis is committed to a culture of compliance with all NCAA rules and will move our program forward accordingly.'
