Cleveland Browns<\/a> safety Ronnie Hickman was assaulted by a crew of individuals inside a New York City hotel lobby early Monday morning, the team said.<\/p>\n

“Safety Ronnie Hickman was a victim of assault early Monday morning at a New York City hotel,” a Browns spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Ronnie was treated for minor injuries at an area hospital after the incident, was later released, and is home resting with his family.”<\/p>\n

Authorities told the New York Post<\/a> that the incident occurred in the lobby of the SIXTY LES hotel on Allen Street around 4:30 a.m. ET, where Hickman was approached by four individuals and a dispute ensued.<\/p>\n

Police are now investigating what led to the 24-year-old New Jersey<\/a> native being attacked, and if being a professional football player is a factor.<\/p>\n

The Post added that the suspects hit him and then fled the scene.<\/p>\n

Hickman was in stable condition after the assault, and was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was released later on Monday.<\/p>\n

Hickman, who went undrafted out of Ohio State<\/a>, is coming off a breakout season with the Browns after starting all 17 games.<\/p>\n

While Cleveland finished the year 5-12, their defense was a formidable unit, and Hickman came out with career highs in tackles (103), passes defended (seven) and interceptions (two).<\/p>\n

Hickman made his NFL<\/a> debut during the 2023 season after joining Cleveland following the draft. He had a pick-six in his 10 games that season, as well as 25 combined tackles.<\/p>\n

Hickman has a big offseason ahead, too, as he is a restricted free agent with the Browns.<\/p>\n

Cleveland has the option to place one of four tenders on Hickman, which allows them to match an offer sheet from another team that may want to sign him.<\/p>\n
