Scottsdale police have released surveillance video of a brawl involving former NHL player Paul Bissonnette and six men at a Houston’s restaurant on Nov. 24, which resulted in him being hospitalized.
In the footage, posted to social media by 12News, Bissonnette is shirtless and chased through a parking lot while several men pursue him — eventually ganging up to punch and kick him multiple times on the ground before he’s able to escape.
“This is the worst of it I took after I knock out that inbred William Carroll f–k before we pass the dumpster,” the Barstool Sports podcaster wrote on X. “It was never going to be a fair fight. Let the games begin. Ate some boot f–ks to the head & jaw but wouldn’t change a thing. F–k the Scottsdale Six. This ain’t over.”
The Scottsdale Police Department arrested the six men — Henry Mesker, John Carroll, William Carroll, Danny Bradley, Edward Jennings and Sean Daley — and released their mugshots on Nov. 26.
Some of the men were seen with bruises on their face in the mugshot photos.
All six men were hit with assault charges, and some received an additional charge of disorderly conduct, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.
Daley, 29, was charged with a felony count of possession of a forged instrument after police said he admitted he had a fraudulent military ID on his person at the time of his arrest.
Daley is due back in court for another hearing sometime this month.
A day after the incident, Bissonnette, 39, posted a video on social media alleging he was attacked by a bunch of “drunk golfers” while at Houston’s, and the brawl spilled into a CVS parking lot nearby.
The “NHL on TNT” analyst explained he “felt the need to step in” when he saw the men getting physical with the restaurant staff at that Houston’s location, which he visits three or four times a week.
“I ate three kicks, one in the neck and two in the head,” he said on Barstool Sports’ “Spittin’ Chiclets” podcast, in the aftermath, adding that his shirt was ripped off and he lost his shoes.
The six men were involved in another altercation at the nearby Raven Golf Club just hours earlier, according to a separate video shared on social media by Shea Stevens.
Bissonnette previously said the altercation was captured on camera and that he was waiting for the footage to come out.
The ex- NHLer vowed to seek vengeance on the six men.
“It was a bunch of drunk golfers, things obviously continued to escalate,” he said in a video on X last month. “They asked one guy to leave. And then one guy kept getting in the manager’s face and put his hands on him.
“… I went over I just grabbed the guy’s arm that was on him and I said, ‘Sir if you continue to harass and assault this staff, we’re going to have problems,’ and then they just started chucking.”
