Florida State QB seen on video punching woman
The Tallahassee Democrat posted surveillance video released Monday by the Florida State Attorney’s Office of Florida State freshman quarterback De’Andre Johnson punching a woman in the face at a bar on June 24.
Johnson, 19, will be charged with misdemeanor battery for the incident, which took place while the woman was waiting in line for a drink at Yianni’s nightclub and felt Johnson push past her aggressively.
When she addressed him at the bar, she raised her arm to defend herself, and he grabbed her arm and began pushing her. She raised her knee into his midsection to push him away and attempted to punch him, court records say, before Johnson punched her on the left side of her face.
The woman suffered bruising near her left eye, swelling of the left cheek and upper lip, and a small cut near the bridge of her nose, according to court records.
Warning: the video contains violent content. Johnson punches the woman at about the 2:00 mark.
