The newspaper, which cites law enforcement sources, says Marshall, his wife and some friends were at Marquee when a fight ensued. Marshall allegedly hit the woman in the left eye. The report said Marshall allegedly might have been trying to hit one of the woman's friends.
Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer tweeted the following statement Tuesday night from Marshall's attorney, Harvey Steinberg:
"... Brandon Marshall was the key note speaker at a charitable event in New York. After the event was over he, his wife and close friends attended a function at a local club. While at the function a fight broke out NOT involving Mr. Marshall or his friends. While attempting to leave to avoid the melee Mrs. Marshall was struck in the face by a thrown bottle. She suffered serious injury. While attempting to leave and take his wife to the hospital, the mayhem continued outside. Finally Mr. Marshall was able to take his wife to the hospital where she was treated for serious injuries. Mr. Marshall is hoping to assist authorities in regards to this matter."
