Video footage of Tyreek Hill’s altercation with a fishing boat employee in June has been released, revealing that the NFL star did take a swipe at the man during the incident. The surveillance footage, obtained by Andy Slater, was captured in a Miami marina at around 6:45 p.m. on June 18. Hill can be seen clearly upset with the boat company worker and is being held back by his friends. He swats at the man’s head/neck area, causing the man to recoil as if he had been hit. Thankfully, Hill’s friends manage to hold him back before he can go after the man again.
While police did investigate the incident, no charges were filed as the alleged victim, who would have been considered a victim if a case was filed, met with Assistant State Attorney Robert Fiallo and signed a notarized Non-Prosecution Form, indicating that he did not wish to press criminal charges. The alleged victim also stated on the form that no threats, promises, or coercion played a part in his decision. As for any civil matters, Hill and the alleged victim reached a settlement.
Hill addressed the situation briefly with media members, stating that the situation is “resolved” and he’s “not worried about it.” He acknowledged his mistake, saying, “I just can’t make bonehead mistakes like that.” However, it is yet to be seen if the NFL will impose any punishment on Hill for his involvement in the incident.
The release of the video footage provides a clearer picture of the altercation between Tyreek Hill and the fishing boat employee. It confirms that Hill did make physical contact with the man and highlights the intensity of the situation. This incident has raised questions about Hill’s behavior off the football field and whether it will have any consequences for his professional career.
