Police have confirmed they are investigating footage that has emerged of NRL journalist Paul Kent appearing to brawl with a group of men outside a venue in Sydney’s inner west.
The vision, which was widely circulated on social media this morning, captures Kent appearing to trade blows with another man outside of Totti’s in Rozelle.
In a statement, NSW Police said it was investigating the incident, which took place on Evans Street about 11.20pm yesterday.
“As part of this investigation, officers attached to Leichhardt Police Area Command have spoken with a number of people and have secured CCTV,” it said.
In the vision, the men can be heard calling each other a “dog” during a heated argument while security and other patrons attempt to intervene.
The video ends with the NRL journalist charging at another man before he is flung upside down into the base of a tree.
Earlier, Fox Sports and News Corp Australia issued a joint statement confirming they have stood down the 54-year-old.
“Fox Sports presenter and News Corp Australia columnist Paul Kent has been stood down pending an immediate investigation,” the statement reads.
The incident comes just six months after Kent was found not guilty of assaulting and choking a woman he was in an off-and-on relationship with.
The charges stemmed from an incident at a home in Sydney’s inner west in May last year when he was accused of grabbing a woman by the throat during a fight over his mobile phone.
