Kwame Harris faces felony domestic violence charges after allegedly beating an ex-boyfriend in the parking lot of a restaurant.

Harris, who was formerly an offensive lineman for the 49ers and Raiders, engaged in an argument with the man over soy sauce.

Harris' attorney says prosecutors have targeted the wrong person.

Harris and ex-boyfriend Dimitri Geier were sharing dinner at Su Hong restaurant in Menlo Park on Aug. 21. Harris was to drive Geier to San Francisco International Airport for a flight following the meal. But the men began to argue after Geier poured soy sauce on some rice, which upset Harris, according to a civil lawsuit Geier filed in San Mateo County.

The punches from Harris broke bones around Geier's eye socket and led a metal plate being installed in his face to repair the physical damage from the beating, his suit says.

Harris played collegiately at Stanford.
