Troubled ex-NFL star Antonio Brown appears to pull out a gun before sH๏τs are fired in shocking footage from a boxing event in Miami on Friday night.
The 36-year-old, who spent more than a decade in the NFL, was attending a fight night organized by online influencer Adin Ross at Miami’s Brand Risk Warehouse.
In videos, which quickly flooded social media, Brown can be seen brawling with a group of men whom he later claimed were attempting to ‘steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me’.
Brown is dragged to the floor by a man who, it later emerges, was a member of security trying to protect him. In the carnage, however, Brown kicks out at the man.
Shortly after, in other clips, the former NFL star re-appears from behind a car carrying what appears to be a firearm in his hand.
The videos show him rushing outside before a couple of gunsH๏τs are heard, causing panicked bystanders to flee.

In another clip that appeared on social media, the 36-year-old can be seen being led out – with his arms behind his back – by a police officer.
Brown later insisted, however, that he was not arrested. ‘Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED,’ he wrote on social media.
DailyMail.com has contacted Miami-Dade police for comment.
A topless Brown did appear on Ross’ social media stream following the incident, when he initially claimed he couldn’t remember what happened.
‘I blacked out… I don’t know what happened,’ he said. ‘I have CTE,’ he added, referring to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain condition that afflicts many former football players.
Shortly after, however, Brown discussed his run-in with the cops. ‘They tried to take me to the movies,’ he said. ‘The cop was gripping me up… I’m like: “I didn’t do nothing bro…”‘
He later released a statement on social media.
‘Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me,’ it read.
