On Tuesday afternoon TMZ posted alleged footage from the incident. In it the victim that Elliott has been accused of punching is seen lying in a pool of blood seconds before his limp body appears to be carried out of the bar. TMZ further reports that the witness who recorded the footage claims to have seen the Cowboys running back arguing with the man seconds before flooring him with a punch to the nose. That account remains consistent with what other witnesses say they saw on Sunday night.
Dallas police are currently investigating what happened. Check out the brief footage below:
Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was reportedly involved in what is being characterized as a “late-night incident,” according to several reports.
ESPN reporter Adam Schefter is reporting Dallas Police were sent to a bar in Dallas—confirmed by other reports as Clutch Bar—at around 9:40 p.m. on Sunday night. They responded to a 30-year-old man’s claim that he had been physically assaulted. Later hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, the unnamed man reportedly could not identify who assaulted him.
A spokesperson for the Dallas police told Schefter no arrests were made as a result of the incident and no one was listed as a suspect in an official police report.
So how did Elliott get caught in the crossfire of an ongoing investigation? A witness who spoke to TMZ provided video of the victim following the incident, and the witness claimed they saw Elliott punch the man in question after the man was allegedly involved in a verbal confrontation with a woman in Elliott’s party. This reportedly prompted Elliott to get involved.
A separate, unconfirmed report from a Cowboys fan who claimed to witness the event also points to Elliott being at the center of the controversy.
