Former NFL WR Braylon Edwards Rescues 80-Year-Old Man Who Was Assaulted at YMCA

Former NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards rescued an 80-year-old man from being assaulted inside a locker room at a YMCA in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

Per Shawn Ley and Brandon Carr of WDIV 4 in Detroit, the incident occurred this past Friday when Edwards was at the Farmington Family YMCA and found the man being assaulted by a 25-year-old man. Edwards said the 25-year-old tried to fight him as well as he tried to stop the fracas.

"I basically walk into the locker room after work, and I hear some noise about four rows behind me, just over arguing about music, someone playing some music too loud," Edwards said.
