Former NFL running back Larry Johnson was arrested in Miami Beach early Tuesday morning after he allegedly attacked a man with a broken drink glass. According to a police report obtained by TMZ, the fight started when Johnson became angry with a fellow patron at the Delano Hotel for supposedly “taking drinks from his table.”

The victim, who chose to remain anonymous, later shared some graphic images of his injuries with TMZ and explained his side of the story.

“He wailed on me for a good two minutes before security came over,” the man explained. “I couldn’t get back up on my feet — so it wasn’t even a fight. He just wailed on me — and used a tall broken vodka glass that got knocked over when I fell down [to attack me].

“I was able to cover my face — but I’m covered in cuts on the side of my neck, cut the back of my hand, and had to get seven stitches for the gash on my arm.”

The photos the man showed indicate he was bleeding quite a bit during and after the incident.

Johnson last played for the Miami Dolphins in 2011, which he reportedly told police after he was arrested. He spent his best seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2003-2009 and was one of the NFL’s best running backs during that span.

The 34-year-old has been arrested several times, mostly for incidents involving domestic violence. You can see a rundown of all of Johnson’s past arrests here.
