The victim of an alleged assault involving Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is ready to face charges, according to a new Miami-Dade Police Department report detailing the incident.
Although the incident report released by the MDPD does not name Hill or the alleged victim, officers described the incident as an argument that escalated into a physical altercation.
Police said Sunday the alleged victim, who works for Kelly Fishing Fleet, was working on a charter boat at Haulover Park Marina when he noticed two women on an unauthorized fishing charter.
Police said the alleged victim told them there was an argument between staff and the group on the boat, while telling the women to get off.
According to the incident report, the victim was hit on the neck by an unknown person believed to be Hill.
According to police, the person then ran towards the victim but was arrested.
The incident report said the incident was captured on surveillance video, but the footage was not released.
“We are aware of the situation and are in touch with Tyreek, his representatives and the NFL. We reserve the right to further comment at this time,” a Dolphins spokesman said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Kansas City Chiefs traded Hill to Miami last year, and the Dolphins gave the three-time All-Pro a $120 million, four-year contract extension that made Hill the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. The 29-year-old caught 119 passes for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022.
