The West Coast Eagles are investigating a street fight that allegedly involved AFL player Tyler Brockman.
One individual has been left hospitalised following the incident that is alleged to have taken place in Geraldton, 400km north of Perth, on Saturday night.
Grainy mobile phone footage has emerged of the alleged incident, and appears to show three men involved in a scuffle.
A shirtless Brockman, 23, was allegedly seen running towards another man in the clip before knocking him to the pavement.
Another person was overheard on the footage crying: ‘Oi Tyler! Tyler! Stop it, no stop it, stop.’
One man was also heard saying: ‘It’s not me. It’s not me, bro. What did I do?’

The Western Australian writes that one individual was allegedly left with a broken jaw.
Brockman’s management told 7News that the footballer may have been acting in self-defence.
‘The West Coast Eagles are aware of an incident involving AFL player Tyler Brockman in Geraldton,’ a club spokesperson said in a statement.
‘The Club is providing support to Tyler while working to gather all relevant information about the incident and is unable to make any further comment at this time.’
The father of two joined the West Coast at the start of the 2024 season, following a three-year spell at Hawthorn.
He was stood down by the club later that season, after he pleaded guilty to three separate charges of careless driving, failing to report an accident to police, and failing to stop after an accident with property damage.
It came after he had fled the scene of an accident while he was attending a family funeral in Geraldton.
He was fined $1,400 as a result.
He returned to the footy pitch this year with the 23-year-old small forward enjoying his best season on record, scoring a career high of 14 goals across 20 matches.
