It turns out that Aaron Donald may have been attempting to stop an assault rather than participating in one, according to recently uncovered surveillance footage.
Recently, there were allegations of assault against Donald after DeVincent Spriggs claimed that the Rams defensive lineman attacked him following an accidental encounter at the Boom Boom Room in Pittsburgh over the weekend.
Spriggs’ attorney had claimed that Donald broke his client’s nose and caused 16 stitches as a result of the altercation. However, the new footage suggests that Donald was attempting to intervene as a peacemaker throughout the incident.
The video shows a man being assaulted on the floor, and after a moment, Donald enters the frame trying to stop the violent attack.
Donald’s defense lawyer referenced the video and shared specifics about what unfolded that evening.
It is clear from this footage that Donald was not the aggressor, but rather actively engaged in diffusing the situation. This evidence should help keep Donald out of legal trouble and allow him to focus on his football career.
