Philadelphia police said that the fight (which you can see video of here) broke out between McCoy, three of this friends, and an off-duty police officer after one of McCoy's friends grabbed a bottle of champagne out of the officer's hands. An arguement ensued, leading to a fight between both sides. A second off-duty police officer was injured while trying to break up the fight.
Both off-duty officers were admitted to the hospital afterwards. The first cop was diagnosed with a broken rib, broken nose, sprained thumb, and a laceration to his right eye. The second cop received stitches to a cut over his right eye.
McCoy was originally expected to be charged with aggravated assault, but the Philadelphia district attorney has said he isn't in a hurry to make a decision.
McCoy played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2009-14 before being traded to the Bills last offseason.
