Brandon Marshall Accused Of Punching Woman In Face, According To Report
“Both the Bears and Dolphins were aware of what occurred over the weekend. We decided to move forward with the trade. We have high expectations for Brandon as a Bear,” Bears general manager Phil Emery said in a statement.
Marshall’s attorney, Harvey Steinberg, asserts that while there was a fight that night, his client was not involved. Steinberg also said that as Marshall and his wife were leaving the club, Marshall’s wife was hit in the face with a bottle and suffered “serious” injuries that required a trip to the hospital.
The woman who accused Marshall of punching her apparently suffered a black eye. From her accounting of the incident, it’s not clear if Marshall meant to punch her or one of her male friends, with whom Marshall was allegedly fighting.
