'Not involved': O.J. Simpson insists he wasn't involved in the argument between the two women

Police were called to disgraced American football star O.J. Simpson's Florida home over the weekend following an altercation between his girlfriend and eldest daughter.

Initial reports suggest the Naked Gun actor, 61, was injured by his daughter Arnelle Simpson, 39, as he tried to break up the argument on Sunday night.

Arnelle was said to be angry with her father for giving money to his girlfriend Christine Prody , while her mother, Simpson's first wife Marguerite Whitley was struggling to pay her bills.

The National Enquirer alleged Arnelle had pushed Simpson into a glass cupboard during her argument with Christine.

Despite reports Simpson had suffered a cut to the head and a bleeding lip, he was looked intact when he spoke to U.S. TV channel CBS this week.

Simpson said: 'Look at me, I look fine. It must be slow news day.'

He told CBS the fight was strictly between the two women and he wasn't involved.

The police report says officers were called to the football star's Kendall home after an incomplete emergency call.

The Enquirer also alleged Arnelle criticised her father for leaving her mother to marry his second wife Nicole Brown.

Simpson was acquitted of Nicole's murder in 1995, but was found 'responsible' for her death in a 1997 civil lawsuit.

Meanwhile, a Las Vegas judge refused to delay Simpson's trial for armed robbery.

Simpson's co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart had asked Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass to put off the September 8th trial until the Nevada Supreme Court considers Stewart's request for a separate trial.

Stewart's lawyers argued it would be impossible for him to get a fair trial because most of the focus will be on Simpson.

Stewart and Simpson face felony charges of kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room last September.
