Police release video of Paul Bissonnette brawl at an Arizona restaurant

Scottsdale police have released surveillance video of a fight between former NHL player Paul Bissonnette and six men at a Houston restaurant on Nov. 24 that resulted in him being hospitalized.

In the footage posted to social media by 12News, Bissonnette is seen being chased across a parking lot shirtless while several men chase him – eventually joining together to punch and kick him to the ground multiple times before he can escape.

“This is the worst thing I’ve experienced after knocking out that inbred William Carroll before we got past the dumpster,” the Barstool Sports podcaster wrote on X. “It could never have been a fair fight.” Let the games begin. Ate a few boot fucks up to my head and jaw but wouldn’t change a thing. F–k the Scottsdale Six. This isn’t over yet.”

Scottsdale police arrested the six men — Henry Mesker, John Carroll, William Carroll, Danny Bradley, Edward Jennings and Sean Daley — and released their mugshots on Nov. 26.

In the mugshots, some of the men could be seen with bruises on their faces.

All six men were charged with assault, and some received an additional charge of disorderly conduct, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.

Daley, 29, was charged with possession of a forged instrument after police said he admitted to carrying a fake military ID at the time of his arrest.

Daley will return to court for another hearing sometime this month.

A day after the incident, Bissonnette, 39, posted a video on social media in which he claimed he was attacked by a group of “drunk golfers” near Houston, and the brawl spilled into a nearby CVS parking lot.

The “NHL on TNT” analyst said he “felt the need to intervene” when he saw the men attacking restaurant staff at the Houston location he visits three or four times a week.

“I got three kicks, one in the neck and two in the head,” he said afterwards on Barstool Sports’ “Spittin’ Chiclets” podcast, adding that his shirt was ripped off and he lost his shoes .

According to a separate video shared by Shea Stevens on social media, the six men were involved in another altercation at the nearby Raven Golf Club just hours earlier.

Bissonnette previously said the altercation was caught on camera and he was waiting for the footage to come out.

The former NHL player vowed to take revenge on the six men.

“It was a bunch of drunk golfers, things obviously continued to escalate,” he said in a video on X last month. “They asked a man to leave. And then a guy kept getting in the manager’s face and putting his hands on him.

“… I walked over and just grabbed the arm of the guy that was on top of him and said, ‘Sir, if you continue to harass and assault these staff, we’re going to be in trouble,’ and then they just started ranting.”
