Michael Bennett charged with injuring an elderly paraplegic at Super Bowl 51

Defensive end Michael Bennett, who was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in early March, has been indicted by a grand jury in Harris County, Texas on the charge of injuring the elderly.

The Harris County District Attorney’s office told ABC Action News in Philadelphia that the incident in question happened in February 2017 as the clock ran out on Super Bowl 51, which took place at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Bennett was at the game on the sidelines to watch his brother, Martellus Bennett, who was playing for the New England Patriots at the time.
