PITTSBURGH —
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, a multi-time All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection, is facing felony charges stemming from an early-morning street altercation in the Pittsburgh neighborhood South Side last weekend.

An online docket shows that Revis was charged Thursday night with aggravated assault, robbery, terroristic threats and conspiracy. The 31-year-old Aliquippa native is not in custody, and it's unclear if he is still in Pennsylvania.

Attorney Blaine Jones said he would contact police to arrange for Revis to turn himself in. "He's not going to run from a warrant," Jones said.

Police issued the following statement, confirming details that were previously reported by WTAE.com.

"On Sunday, February 12 at approximately 2:43 a.m., Zone 3 Officers were dispatched to the intersection of S. 23rd and E. Carson streets for a report that two males had been knocked unconscious. According to the investigation, a 22-year-old male from Kittanning was walking along E. Carson Street when he spotted a male who resembled Aliquippa native Darrelle Revis, a cornerback in the NFL. He asked if the man was Darrell Revis and he confirmed that he was. The male began recording the interaction on his cellphone and continued following Revis. At some point, Revis snatched the cellphone away and attempted to delete the video. Another 21-year-old male from Ross Township attempted to help the 22-year-old retrieve the cellphone. Revis then tossed the phone onto the roadway. A verbal argument followed. A male came to assist Revis. Both the 22-year-old and the 21-year-old state they were punched then remember waking up to talk to police. Witnesses state the two were unconscious for about 10 minutes. The officers viewed the cellphone video and confirmed that the person was Revis. Charges are pending against the 31-year-old Revis to include robbery, terroristic threats, conspiracy and aggravated assault."

Both of the injured men were taken to the hospital, and one of them suffered broken bones around his eye, sources close to the investigation say.

Lydia Watt said her brother, Nathan Watt, an IUP student, was with the two alleged victims but was not struck during the incident.

"He was with two of his buddies down in the South Side over the weekend, and I see a Snapchat of his friend laying in a hospital bed," she said. "I immediately texted him and said, 'What is (your friend) doing in a hospital bed?' He said, 'Darrelle Revis knocked him out.'"

Jones told a different story, claiming that Revis is the one who was assaulted.

"He was not the aggressor that night. He was 1,000 percent the victim," Jones said. "He tried to retreat. He did everything in his power to try to get this situation to die down, to de-escalate this situation that the other group started. Darrelle was by himself when he was physically assaulted by one of the men, and unfortunately, at what point in time do you say enough is enough?"

When asked if Revis threw any punches, Jones said, "All I can tell you is that if any punches were thrown, they were thrown in self-defense, but Darrelle did not initiate any of the physical contact. Do you think Darrelle Revis would go down to the South Side and start throwing punches?"

Revis had come to Pittsburgh for a visit with family and friends, and he went to the South Side to look at "a location that he is in the process of developing," Jones said.

One of the most acclaimed football stars in WPIAL history, Revis was named the Class AA Player of the Year in Pennsylvania after leading Aliquippa High School to a state title in 2003. He went on to play for Pitt, where he earned All-America and All-Big East honors.

Revis was drafted 14th overall by the Jets in 2007. His NFL career has also included stints with Tampa Bay and New England, where he was a member of the Super Bowl XLIX championship team.

He knocked them out he didn't ****ing kill them.

This is called men settling things amongst themselves, or it should be anyway.

Yep.
Sounds like Revis' friend might have done some of theknocking out. Either way screw those punks. And I'd give a dollar to have seen the beat down that left two dudes KO'ed for ten minutes.

Too bad that didn't get recorded on some phone.

Unless there is some kind of crime being committed or something.

Say you are in Arrowhead. It is a playoff game and the place is rocking. You pull out your cellphone and take some pictures of the stadium from your seat. Some guy in front of you insists you delete all the pictures because he is in them. Do you do it?

If it's Revis I do.

But more to the point, I think you can define some rules. If you're following someone around taking pictures of them, I think that falls under the "stop it" rule. If you're one of 50 people in the frame, probably not.

Yeah, at some point it crosses the line to harassment.

Why the **** am I taking pictures while the rest of Arrowhead is rocking during a playoff game?

You don't have a right to follow someone around harassing them regardless of whether you are taking pictures. It really isn't about taking pictures/video. When you go out in public you are just that, in public, not in private. No right to privacy.

Presumably you're planning to sell the photos to a tabloid so they can write a story about the person in front of you.

You want to remember the great game that Alex Smith played.

I just chose Arrowhead because it is a Chiefs forum. Let's say you take your family on a once in a lifetime trip to Disneyland. No, I don't know why it is once in a lifetime. You take a picture of them there, and there are people in the background....etc.

Here in PA, they couldn't record his voice without his consent (barring exceptions) because of our wiretapping laws.

Within city limits? not sure. Rural PA, absolutely.
