Cam Newton caught on camera in a heated exchange

The video shows the former Panthers star taking on multiple attackers with ease. Newton, wearing his distinctive hat, can be seen being pushed by three men dressed in black near a staircase-like area. In the video, Newton grabs a person by his backpack and throws them to the ground while holding another one in a headlock. The situation escalated as they moved toward a fence and some more men joined. Meanwhile, another person in a white shirt punches someone else in the crowd. 

This clumsy scuffle lasted less than 30 seconds before police and event security intervened. Newton, the first pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, doesn’t throw any punches but appears to defend himself against the other men quite well. However, there have been no reports of any serious injuries from the player or any other parties involved in the altercation till now.

In the video, Newton said, “If you beat my team – 15U C1N Red or 18U C1N Platinum – I will pay every single player on the team. Tell me who’s doing that. If that ain’t putting your money where your mouth is, I don’t know what to say.” Newton made these remarks before his team lost to TopShelf Performance’s 18U team.
