NEW YORK -- New York Jets receiver Brandon Marshall told a jury Thursday that he feared for his life while fleeing a Manhattan nightclub after fights broke out four years ago.
An emotional Marshall testified in federal court, denying at the civil trial that he punched a woman who later sued him for unspecified damages.
He said he saw men chasing him and his longtime friend, former NFL receiver Mike Sims-Walker, outside the Marquee nightclub and thought "no way we'll survive this."
"If you fall, you're dead," he recalled thinking as he worried that others might have weapons.
