Sabres forward Evander Kane put his hands on four people – three women and one man – according to the Buffalo News. He will face non-criminal harassment charges on only two of the women.
Kane reportedly grabbed one of the women by the neck, while also yanking the hair and grabbing the throat of a third woman, who has not come forward to press charges.
Our own Liam McGuire covered the allegations when they first came to light about the Sabres star who continues to find himself at the center of ugly situations.
The details from the Buffalo News are extremely damning:
“Kane has refused to cooperate with Buffalo police in their investigation of the incidents that started shortly after 3 a.m. in Bottoms Up on the first block of West Chippewa Street and in a nearby parking lot,
In the video involving the woman police have not been able to locate, Kane is seen pulling her by the hair and then grabbing her by the throat, according to a police source who has seen the videos.
“He yanks the unknown woman by the hair and pulls her down and then grabs her around the neck in the area by the bar door,” the police source said. “She has not come forward.”
Buffalo Police Department officials have declined to comment because the violation charges have not been issued.”
It is now up to the NHL to bring down some sort of decision. This isn’t something they can just let go. The league hasn’t shown any strong enforcement on these types of issues in the past. Will they finally take a stand or will this be another situation where they turn the other cheek?
