While full details are still unavailable, news from Texas reveals that Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot was involved somehow in a bar fight that sent one man to the hospital, reports say.
Dallas police are investigating a fight that occurred inside the Clutch Bar in Dallas, with some witnesses claiming that the player threw a punch that laid a man flat out on the barroom floor, gossip site TMZ reported.
The fight reportedly started as a verbal altercation, said witnesses. Soon, though, the 2016 Pro Bowl player was reportedly seen throwing a punch.
Dallas police have not reported the incident as one involving the NFL player and Elliot was not in the bar when police responded to calls, according to reports.
Video of the after effects of the fight shows one man lying on the floor. Reports also say that the victim was taken out of the bar on a stretcher and sent to a local hospital for treatment.
Police have yet to speak with Elliot and he is not yet announced as a person of interest in the incident. No charges have been filed.
Neither the Cowboys nor the NFL have made a statement on the incident and Elliot’s agent said only that his client was not arrested and no complaint has been filed.
