Arrest made in sucker-punch incident involving Eagles' Dallas Goedert

Police have arrested a man for simple assault in connection to a bar brawl that involved Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, as first reported by NJ.com.

Over the weekend, a patron sucker punched Goedert in a South Dakota bar. A security video appears to show the NFL player being blindsided with a punch to the face by a man.

Aberdeen Police (South Dakota) arrested Kyle Douglas Hadala, 29, a resident of Sarasota, Florida, for the alleged assault. The incident did not cause serious bodily harm to Goedert, so the charge was considered simple assault, according to Brown County State Attorney office.
