Cleveland Browns safety Ronnie Hickman was assaulted early Monday morning at a New York hotel then was treated for minor injuries at an area hospital before being released, the team said in a statement.
Hickman, 24, was approached by four people in the lobby of SIXTY LES hotel after 4:30 a.m. ET, the New York Post reported. Per the report, the suspects punched Hickman before leaving the hotel.
The Browns added that Hickman is 'home resting with his family.'
