According to TMZ, Langley was arrested and charged with simple assault, while United has fired the employee.

The 27-year-old pro football player was a third-round draft pick by the Denver Broncos in 2017 and was briefly a member of the Seattle Seahawks before signing with the Stampeders as a free agent in February.

“The Calgary Stampeders football club is aware of the reports concerning Brendan Langley,” the Stampeders said in a statement shared with Daily Hive. “The team is currently looking into the matter in order to learn the full details and will have no further comment until the investigation is complete.”

Langley has since spoken about the incident on Twitter.

“[You] can clearly see soooo many [United] employees watching everything unfold while I’m basically begging for help,” said Langley. “Craziest part not one of them helped deescalate the situation! It was like they wanted it to happen. Like I had a target on my back.”
