According to 6abc, LeSean McCoy assaulted two off-duty Philadelphia police officers in Old City late last night. The officers were hospitalized as a result of the incident.
It was there that McCoy, and a friend, were involved in a physical altercation with the two officers, sources said.
Sources also say that while McCoy and his friend were not arrested, they are the focus of the investigation.
A police report was made at the time the incident took place, those sources added.
McCoy was traded by the Eagles to the Buffalo Bills last offseason for linebacker Kiko Alonso.
Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for McCoy, declined to comment at this time.
Update: So far this appears to be a one-sided re-telling of events, but some more details have emerged:
