Former NHL star Paul Bissonnette was involved in a brawl at a Arizona restaurant over the weekend, where he was assaulted by seven drunk men. The fight started when one of the men was asked to leave the restaurant and then started harassing the manager. Bissonnette intervened and was soon surrounded by the men, leading to a physical altercation that spilled over to a nearby store. Despite being hit multiple times, Bissonnette was able to avoid serious injury and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Six of the seven men involved were arrested by the police on assault and disorderly conduct charges. Bissonnette expressed anger at the behavior of the men, describing them as “bad dudes” who were “way too drunk” and acting inappropriately in a family restaurant. He thanked the restaurant staff and police for their quick response to the incident. Bissonnette, who now works as a hockey analyst and podcaster, highlighted the need for respect and appropriate behavior in public places, condemning the actions of the individuals involved in the brawl.
