Ezekiel Elliott was Involved in Incident that Left a Man Hospitalized: Report

A report published in ESPN states that Ezekiel Elliott was involved in an incident at a Dallas bar last night that left a 30-year-old man hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. The incident was first reported by Mike Fisher of 105.3 The Fan.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dallas PD sent officers to Clutch Bar & Restaurant last night at 9:40 p.m. local time. A 30-year-old man said he was assaulted, and he was later taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police records show that he was treated for a broken nose. No suspects have been arrested yet, although a police investigation is ongoing. The NFL acknowledged they were aware of the incident and would be looking into things as well.

TMZ obtained a video which they say shows the victim writhing on the ground in pain, supposedly taken just after he was punched. The person who took the video, they say, told them that Elliott punched the man out.

The person who shot the video tells us the man was involved in a verbal altercation with a woman who was in Ezekiel’s party … when Ezekiel got involved.

The witness says she saw Ezekiel punch the man — corroborating the story the victim’s friend told police. However, cops at the scene could not confirm Zeke was the attacker and he has not been arrested or charged with a crime.

Meanwhile, Elliott is still under NFL investigation for an alleged 2016 domestic violence incident and he could soon be suspended for one or two games.

Elliott received numerous honors during his tenure at Ohio State. In the 2014 season, Elliott was named the Offensive MVP of both the 2015 Sugar Bowl and the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

His success at the end of the 2014 season made him a front-runner for the 2015 Heisman Trophy, though he in fact finished 8th in the voting. After a successful regular season in which he gained 1,672 yards and 19 touchdowns, Elliott was named the 2015 Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year, 2015 Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year and was selected as Unanimous First Team All-Big Ten. In addition to the yearly awards, he was also named Big Ten Player of the Week twice during the 2015 season for his performances in Week 5 against Indiana, and in Week 13 against Michigan.
