PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Sources tell Action News that former Eagles player and current Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is under investigation after two off-duty Philadelphia police officers were assaulted and seriously injured.
Philadelphia police haven't formally identified McCoy as a suspect, but in a statement issued Monday said four suspects were involved and they are "reported to be members of the National Football League."
It allegedly happened around 2:45 a.m. Sunday at the Recess Lounge located at 125 South 2nd Street in Old City.
Philadelphia police said on Monday afternoon there was an argument over a bottle of champagne.
A source gave Action News more details, saying the police officers had ordered multiple bottles of champagne and, according to witness accounts, one of the men with McCoy grabbed a bottle out of one of the cop's hands.
That led to an argument, police said, and one of the police officers was punched and knocked to the ground.
While on the ground, Philadelphia police say that officer was punched, kicked and stomped on his body and head multiple times by all four suspects.
The second officer, along with security guards, went to break it up, and everyone involved was then ejected from the club.
The first officer drove himself to the hospital, where he was found to be suffering from broken ribs, a broken nose, a laceration to his right eye and a sprained thumb, police said.
The second officer was also admitted to the hospital, where he received stitches over his right eye and a possible skull fracture.
Police say surveillance video showed the ejection from the club, but there is no video of the actual incident.
The four suspects were identified through photographs by the two officers and the security guards.
McCoy's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined to comment when contacted by Action News.
The Buffalo Bills put out a statement Monday that reads:
"We are aware of the reports regarding LeSean McCoy and are in the process of gathering more information. We will not provide any further comment at this time."
