DETROIT (AP) — Former NFL player Braylon Edwards stepped in and saved the life of an 80-year-old man who was being attacked in the locker room at a suburban Detroit YMCA, police said Monday.
“If it wasn't for that intervention, we could very easily be talking about someone’s death,” said Jeff King, the police chief in Farmington Hills.
Authorities, meanwhile, filed an attempted murder charge against a 20-year-old man for the incident Friday at the recreation center.
Edwards, 41, said he was “just minding my business” when he heard a dispute about loud music.
