Padres' Tommy Pham sues San Diego strip club where he was stabbed, claims 'catastrophic' injuries

A month after being reportedly stabbed at a San Diego strip club, Tommy Pham is suing the venue where it took place.

The San Diego Padres outfielder filed a lawsuit against Pacers Showgirls International in San Diego Superior Court on Tuesday, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. In the suit, Pham reportedly alleges that the club’s private security “escalated the risk” for Pham by confronting and antagonizing the participants of a fight.

Pham also reportedly alleges that employees of the club did not contact law enforcement in response to the incident. Pham claimed to be “trapped” inside the club as the fight broke out, and was later stabbed “without any provocation” by an unknown attacker as he approached the valet stand to get his car.
