Myles Garrett Punched In Face By Selfie-Taker

CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns player Myles Garrett said he was punched in the face by a person asking for a selfie Wednesday. Cleveland police said they have identified the man who attacked Garrett.

The punch happened at 3 p.m. on East 9th Street in Cleveland, according to police records. Garrett was sitting in his car, at a red light, when a Chevy Cobalt pulled up next to the defensive lineman. The driver of the other car asked Garrett for a picture.

Garrett told the man he would take the picture, but wanted to finish a phone call. The driver then got out of his car, took a picture with Garrett and then punched him in the face.

After hitting Garrett, the driver jumped back into his Cobalt and drove off. Garrett later told police he wasn't injured, but was surprised by the attack. On Twitter, Garrett joked the man should have "put his legs into" the punch.

Police were able to track the Cobalt's license plate, according to records. Investigators believe the attacker was a 24-year-old man from Strongsville.
