Detroit Red Wings forward Daniel Sprong has been accused of assaulting former IndyCar driver Zachary Claman Demelo.
Demelo, 25, alleged in an Instagram story that Sprong assaulted him at a night club during IndyCar's Grand Prix weekend in Detroit, which ran from June 2 through June 4.
Recounting the experience, Demelo said Sprong grabbed his neck and pinned him against a wall before the two were separated. Sprong then allegedly sucker-punched him in the face after the former IndyCar driver believed the altercation was over.
Demelo said he required "brutal" dental work after the encounter and is still dealing with concussion symptoms.
