On a quiet Sunday evening in Scottsdale, Arizona, a disagreement at a local steakhouse escalated into a physical altercation involving former NHL player and current TNT hockey analyst, Paul Bissonnette. Bissonnette took to social media on Monday to recount the incident, explaining that he stepped in when one member of a group started harassing the restaurant's manager and grabbing him.
According to Bissonnette, the man seemed shocked and caught off guard by his actions, but he was determined to protect the staff of the family restaurant. With no one else around to assist, Bissonnette approached the individual and warned him that any further aggression would not be tolerated. However, things quickly turned violent as other members of the group joined in and a brawl erupted.
The fight began inside the restaurant and quickly spilled out into the parking lot, eventually making its way to a nearby store. In the midst of chaos, Bissonnette found himself outnumbered and on the receiving end of several kicks and punches. But he didn't back down, fighting back and landing some of his own blows against the seven men.
Thankfully, the Scottsdale police were able to intervene and arrested six of the men involved for assault and disorderly conduct. Bissonnette, who played in the NHL for six seasons with the Arizona Coyotes before retiring and pursuing a broadcasting career, was left with a few bruises and a reminder of the dangers of stepping in to help others.
