New York Jets linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin said Tuesday he was surprised by a lawsuit filed by a man alleging he was punched by Mauldin at a night club.
"Of course, I was shocked," Mauldin said, via NJ.com's Darryl Slater. "But everything that's going on right now, it's pending. We don't know what the outcome is going to be. And you guys [reporters] can just refer to my attorney if you have any questions."
Larry Celona, Paul Schwartz and Bruce Golding of the New York Post reported Sunday Jean Lopez accused Mauldin of assault following an alleged altercation at the Highline Ballroom.
