Gamers are always hearing about the connection between videogames and violence. Unfortunately, a police report from Los Angeles has shown a direct connection in an odd sort of way.

R&B singer Teddy Riley, a member of the group Blackstreet, has been accused of swinging a Rock Band guitar at his two daughters, according to the celebrity site TMZ. Taja Riley, the 18-year-old daughter, has been granted a temporary restraining order against her father, forcing him to stay 100 yards or more away from her.

TMZ's report adds:

In the documents, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Taja claims at one point Teddy, "lifted a Rock Band guitar and threatened to kill person(s) w/ it."

Taja claims she suffered several injuries in the alleged altercation -- including "bashes to temple, contusion on face" and "pain in knee."

The incident occured at the Riley home in Los Angeles on Dec. 23.
