San Francisco 49ers defensive end Charles Omenihu — who’s recorded two sacks in the team’s two playoff games this year — has been arrested for domestic violence following an alleged incident with his girlfriend … just days before the NFC Championship Game.
According to the San Jose Police Department, the altercation involving Omenihu happened on Monday at around 4:39 PM.
Cops say when officers arrived on the scene, an adult female claimed her boyfriend — identified as Omenihu — pushed her to the ground during an argument.
The SJPD says the woman did not have any visible wounds … but she did complain about “pain to her arm.” Cops say she refused medical attention.
According to the SJPD, officers made contact with Omenihu — and ultimately arrested him for misdemeanor domestic violence. Cops say an emergency protective restraining order was also issued.
The 25-year-old was booked at Santa Clara County Main Jail … but has since posted bail.

The Niners said in a statement Tuesday they were aware of the arrest and “are in the process of gathering further information.”
Omenihu — who was traded from the Texans to the 49ers in November 2021 — has been a key player on S.F.’s defense this year … tallying 4.5 sacks in the regular season, while adding two more in the postseason.
The 49ers are set to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line. It’s not yet clear if Omenihu will be available for the game.
