NHL analyst Paul Bissonnette attacked during altercation – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Former NHL player and TNT hockey analyst Paul Bissonnette was attacked by several men during an altercation at a steakhouse in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Sunday evening.

Bissonnette posted a video to

“You could see on his face that he (the manager) was a little bit shocked, surprised and bewildered,” Bissonnette said. “It’s a family restaurant and there was no one there who might be able to help him, so I went over there, grabbed the guy and said, ‘Sir, if you start attacking and harassing the staff, we’re going to have problems. ”

Bissonnette said members of the group began throwing punches during a fight that started inside the restaurant and then spilled into the parking lot and a nearby store. Bissonnette said he was kicked in the head three times and received several punches, while he himself landed several blows against seven men.

Scottsdale police have arrested six men accused of assault and disorderly conduct.

Bissonnette played in the NHL from 2008 to 2014, spending his final five seasons with the Phoenix Coyotes before transitioning to a broadcasting career.
