Veteran safety Ronnie Hickman was the victim of an early-morning attack outside of a hotel. The 24-year-old was treated for minor injuries. Hickman, who was born in New York, was raised in New Jersey and played high school football there before attending Ohio State. He recently completed his third NFL season."
""Ronnie Hickman was a victim of assault early Monday morning at a New York City hotel. Ronnie was treated for minor injuries at an area hospital after the incident, was later released, and is home resting with his family," the team's statement read."
"A report said Hickman was approached by four men at about 4:30 a.m. in the lobby of the SIXTY LES hotel. After a dispute, Hickman was taken to the hospital. Police are searching for the suspects. They are also trying to determine if Hickman's status as an NFL player had anything to do with the encounter.
