Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown involved in apparent robbery attempt at Miami boxing event

Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown was involved in a brawl during a boxing event in Miami in which it appeared that he was the target of a robbery attempt.

Several bystanders recorded video of the incident in which someone allegedly tried to steal jewelry Brown was wearing around his neck, then joined a group of people in attacking him.

"I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Brown posted on social media.

Though Brown is seen being handcuffed by local police, he says he was only being detained to provide his account of what happened and was then released, not arrested.
