Antonio Brown accused of tossing items off balcony

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown faces two $15,000 lawsuits from an April incident during which the All-Pro receiver allegedly yelled at security and threw items from inside a South Florida apartment and off the balcony, according to documents obtained by ESPN.

A guardian of a two-year-old boy is suing Brown for "intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault" after items flung from the 14th floor of The Mansions at Acqualina nearly hit the child, according to Miami-Dade county court filings. The child was with his grandfather near the pool area of the complex when large items -- including two vases, an ottoman and other pieces of furniture -- fell close to them, according to the filings, which say the child has experienced anxiety and trouble sleeping since.
