Former NHL player, turned media personality Paul Bissonnette was assaulted at a Scottsdale restaurant and taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
“There was an altercation inside the restaurant with six adult men and the management. Reportedly, Paul Bissonnette tried to help management calm the men and get them to leave. The situation escalated to the men assaulting Paul Bissonnette both inside and outside of the restaurant,” Scottsdale Police Sgt. Allison Sempsis said in a statement.
“Police units responded quickly after it was reported and, after a thorough investigation, arrested six men for their involvement. EMS was called to the scene to evaluate Paul’s injuries from the assault, and he was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.”
According to reports, all six men were arrested and accused of assault and disorderly conduct.
The TNT commentator has yet to comment publicly regarding the incident, though it’s widely speculated that he will reveal details when he makes his next appearance on his Spittin’ Chiclets podcast.
