Johnny Manziel sued for allegedly breaking nose of Austin bar worker in September

Johnny Manziel is facing a new round of legal trouble after a lawsuit filed Monday alleges the former Heisman Trophy winner and out-of-work NFL quarterback broke a bar worker’s nose in Austin, Texas in September.

Plaintiff Eric Newton sued Manziel in a Travis County district court and is seeking damages of $200,000 to $1 million.

The suit, which was first reported by Texas Our Texas on Facebook, claims that Newton, a bar-back, was working in an upstairs room at the New York, New York bar in the early hours of Sept. 6, where the ex-Texas A&M quarterback was attending a private party.

Manziel, 23, who has re-enrolled in classes at Texas A&M for the fall academic semester, allegedly “demanded” that Newton prepare several drink orders, which the employee could not do because he isn’t a bartender.
