Braylon Edwards' Pals Allegedly Got into Fight at Birmingham Club

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (WJBK) - Braylon Edwards is an NFL wide receiver and Michigan standout who made a name for himself on the field and, most recently, what he's doing off of it.

Edwards was arrested last September for driving drunk in New York City. This past June, the Jets receiver was involved in a minor accident on Belle Isle.

Sunday, Edwards was allegedly at the South Bar in Birmingham. Reportedly two people in his entourage were arrested after roughing up some employees around two o'clock in the morning.

Around that same time, Edwards tweeted, "Damn. Get ya knuckles ready" and "Don't fight if. You don't know how."

We're told the group of friends Edwards was with got into an argument with an employee at the nighttime hot spot that eventually spilled into the kitchen. There one worker was sliced with a knife requiring 14 stitches. Another was attacked with a fork.

Two people in police custody are expected to be arraigned sometime on Tuesday.

We're told Edwards had nothing directly to do with the fight. In fact, the Birmingham police chief said his officers never had any interaction with the wide receiver.
