Antonio Brown Claims He Was Assaulted in Miami Boxing Event Incident

Police are looking into a situation involving former NFL star Antonio Brown following a viral video depicting a brawl in Miami on Friday.

Authorities had initially responded to Northeast 2 Avenue and 67 Street due to a ShotSpotter notification, according to Miami law enforcement. This location coincided with a boxing match hosted by well-known streamer Adin Ross.

On Saturday, Brown posted on the social media site X, recounting that during Friday night's event, a group of individuals allegedly targeted him.

Brown, aged 36, stated: "I was attacked by several people attempting to snatch my jewelry and harm me physically."

Footage shared by Only in Dade shows Brown retaliating. In a separate clip, he appears to hold what seems to be a black gun while chasing someone. Although gunfire is audible in the background, Brown's online post omits any mention of shots.

Another video depicts Brown being handcuffed and led to a police vehicle.

Reflecting on the previous night's boxing event, Brown stated he was temporarily restrained but subsequently freed once officers heard his account. He plans to consult with his legal team.

According to Officer Kiara Delva, spokesperson for the department, multiple individuals were questioned, yet no arrests were carried out. Fortunately, the scene did not result in injuries.

Delva further mentioned that the investigation continues, refraining from disclosing the identities of those involved.

Antonio Brown was an eminent player for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2010 to 2018, recognized as a top receiver who twice topped the league charts in receiving yards. However, his career experienced a decline due to a mix of incidents on and off the field, including his release from the Oakland Raiders before the 2019 season began.

Brown's final NFL years saw stints with New England and Tampa Bay. His sports tenure concluded sharply when he stripped off his uniform and stormed off the field during the Buccaneers' last regular-season clash against the New York Jets in 2021. He later declared his retirement a few months afterward.
