Washington Redskins safety Montae Nicholson was arrested Tuesday, December 18 in Virginia. Now, we know why. TMZ Sports has obtained video of Nicholson brutally beating and knocking out a man in a street fight that took place at around 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
The report adds:
There are reports the fight began after a road rage incident where the victims pulled up in a vehicle and honked at Montae. But a witness tells us … the beef started BEFORE the car incident. Both victims were taken to a nearby hospital where they were treated for serious injuries. We’ve reached out to Montae’s camp for comment. So far, no word back. A rep for the Redskins tells us they are aware of the arrest and still gathering information.
Nicholson was later booked by the Loudon County Sheriffs Office for assault and battery and drunk in public. He was released on $2,500 bond.
A female was also arrested along with Nicholson.
In the video, you can see Nicholson in a fit of rage as he rains down multiple punches on the unidentified man. Nicholson was wearing a red hoodie and refused to back down as he delivered a knockout blow and continued pummeling the man in the middle of the street.
