Jamaal Lascelles was filmed leaving a nightclub Sunday morning brawling. According to the Daily Mail, the Newcastle captain tried to defend his brother in front of a group of “at least six men”.

Jamal Lascelles hits like in the movies – the Newcastle captain came to the defense of his brother

Lascelles, 29, was preparing to leave a nightclub with a friend and his brother when the 19-year-old was elbowed. The player then pushed the attacker before being attacked by a “gang of six to eight men”.

The football player was almost hit with a bottle of vodka and received numerous blows. His brother was punched in the face, and his friend was allegedly knocked unconscious by a kick to the head. In addition, the group threatened Lascelles to shoot him.

Lascelles (wearing a black t-shirt and green jacket) knocked one man to the ground and then told everyone to calm down. He was then allegedly punched in the face before retaliating, as seen in videos on social media.

The police were called to the scene and began an investigation to determine the cause of the violent scenes, which were captured on video by witnesses and published on social networks.

Newcastle have been informed of the incident but have declined to comment. Also, nothing was said about the health of the player.

Lascelles arrived at the club in 2014 from Nottingham Forest and has been captain since 2016, but has fallen down the ranks in recent months. He has yet to play a single minute this season, spending the first three games of the season on the bench.

The central defenders of the team are the Swiss Fabian Scher and the Dutchman Sven Botman, and the captain’s armband is worn by the right defender Kieran Trippier, writes News.ro.
