NEW YORK — A Cleveland Browns defensive back is recovering at home after being attacked by a group of four men in a Manhattan hotel lobby during the early morning hours on Monday.
Ronnie Hickman, a 24-year-old safety for the Browns, sustained minor injuries in the assault and received medical treatment before being discharged, according to team officials. The player is now resting with his family as he recovers from the incident.
New York City police responded to an emergency call at 4:35 a.m. Monday regarding an assault taking place in a hotel lobby, according to law enforcement officials.
“Upon arrival, officers were informed that four unidentified individuals punched a 24-year-old male about the body following a verbal dispute,” police said. “The suspects fled the location in an unknown direction.”
The investigation remains active, and authorities have not made any arrests in connection with the attack, the New York Police Department confirmed in their official statement.
Hickman joined the Browns as an undrafted free agent after completing his college career at Ohio State University. During his three-year NFL tenure, he has appeared in 41 games and compiled impressive defensive statistics, including 173 total tackles, three interceptions, and one fumble recovery.
