TMZ Sports obtained the video of the fight in the wild bar that led to the arrest of the former NFL star Pacman Jones … and you can hear people begging for the violence to stop.
The stools were flying. People fell to the floor. And it is a miracle that more people have not been seriously injured.
Here is the background story, according to the witness who filmed this video …
The drama began after 37-year-old Pacman and someone on his team left the Clutch OTR bar in Cincinnati at around 1 am Monday morning – and the security team would not let them in.
“Pacman made his way back and everything started to get aggressive,” says the witness.
Pacman was said to have entered a heated verbal confrontation with the DJ – and when security got involved, Pacman punched.
“Pacman knocked out the security guard and then started kicking the guy in the head several times. That’s when a lot of employees interfered and my video started.”
The footage shows several people grabbing bar stools and throwing them across the room, while onlookers shout for everyone to stop. It’s unclear if any of the chair shooters in our footage are Pacman, but you can clearly see him standing in the center of the bar when things start to calm down.
An angry person at the bar waved a stool and shouted, “Fuck me. I dare you.”
As we reported earlier, the police arrived at the bar and Pacman stuck. He was charged on 1 charge of assault for misdemeanor.
The police report says Jones “punched and kicked” an establishment employee, “causing the security guard to lose consciousness”.
Jones later went to The Pat McAfee Show and stated that the assailant was the security guard and, when he saw his brother being attacked, joined in the conversation and “did what I needed to do”.

Jones insists he was not drunk and believes the surveillance video will support his story.
