Former NFL wideout Braylon Edwards is being considered a Good Samaritan after saving an 80-year-old man who was being assaulted at a Michigan YMCA locker room.
The incident took place on Friday, per Clickondetroit.com:
“I walk into the locker room after work, and basically, I hear about four rows behind me arguing about music and how it was being played too loud,” said Edwards.
“,,, The noise escalates, and then you can hear some pushing and shoving, so you know what fighting sounds like, but once I hear a thud, that’s when I got up and turned around,
“And then I see the guy for what I was thinking was reaching for a phone underneath the victim grabs the back of the victim’s head by the hair, and he was about to slam it down on the counter,
“I didn’t know it was that serious, I mean the victim probably had a serious concussion by nature but It wasn’t until I talked to the detective Jacobs down in Farmington who told me that if I didn’t step in but at the end of the day that’s what you do.”
Edwards played college ball at the University of Michigan and was an NFL wideout for the Browns, Jets, Seahawks, and 49ers.
The 25-year-old man alleged to have been assaulting the man has been arrested.
