Shocking footage emerges of moment NBA star DeMar DeRozan shoved fan to the floor in restaurant brawl

This is the shocking moment six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan shoved a fan to the floor and grabbed his phone in a brawl at a California sushi restaurant.

The incident, which reportedly occurred on Friday night, has been laid bare by footage first obtained by TMZ Sports, and shows DeRozan standing over the man as he lays on the floor on his back.

The melee was allegedly sparked by the man shoving a bright phone light in DeRozan’s face while he was trying to eat, and the 35-year-old reacted badly to the intrusion at Calabasas H๏τspot Yume Sushi.

The video initially shows restaurant security trying to pull the NBA star off the man, who is defending himself with his legs in the air.

He eventually is able to get back to his feet, but has had his phone ripped from his grasp by a female who appeared to be dining with DeRozan.

After the basketball player lunges back towards him, the man can be heard shouting that he is a ‘big fan’, before adding: ‘You’re my hero.’
