| 10th December, 2007 - 8:16 am | ESPN - South Carolina football player Jordin Lindsey had his neck slashed during a weekend altercation near the school campus, police said.
Lindsey, a defensive end for the Gamecocks who could not play this season because of low grades, was cut early Saturday morning by a man wielding a sharp object, possibly a broken bottle, a police report said. Lindsey was fighting with one of two attackers when his neck was cut, the report added.
Lindsey's father Billy Lindsey said his son needed surgery but was to be released from the hospital Sunday, according to a report posted online by The (Columbia) State newspaper.
The elder Lindsey said Jordin Lindsey and his twin, Dustin, also a Gamecocks' player, were walking early Saturday morning in Five Points, a neighborhood known for its college bar scene and restaurants.
Two men yelled at the brothers from across a street, but the twins didn't think much about it -- until they heard footsteps, and Jordin Lindsey was stabbed, Billy Lindsey said. [READ] |
