Former NFL quarterback Vince Young found himself at the center of a harrowing altercation, which resulted in him being knocked out unconscious during a scuffle at a bar.
The incident occurred around 9 pm on February 4th at Tokyo Joe’s Shot Bar in Houston, Texas. Video footage obtained by TMZ Sports shows Young involved in a heated discussion with other patrons.
The situation escalated when a man allegedly threw a drink and elbowed the bar owner, who claimed the fight stemmed from a racial conversation. Young then approached another man but was unexpectedly punched in the face by that person.

The bar owner reportedly called the police but ultimately decided not to press charges, and no arrests were made. Vince Young hasn’t publicly commented on the incident.
