The woman also stated Brown used his left hand to grab Tupuola’s right shoulder and st—– him several times in the abdomen. She says the coach initially tried to fight back before attempting to run away, but Brown chased him. Tupuola, 5’9″ and 160 pounds, eventually got in the car and drove off to call 911. He is in critical condition in the ICU.
According to the report, Tupuola suffered “wounds in the upper right chest clavicle area. A defensive wound on his left hand that penetrated his tendons. A slice wound that necessitated a partial gastrectomy to remove part of his digestive system, eviscerated bowels, and a broken right rib that may require surgery to repair.” Witnesses stated Marselle struck first and did not act in self-defense.
