Miami-Dade police are investigating allegations of an assault and battery involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill at Haulover Beach Marina Sunday afternoon, a spokesperson told the Miami Herald Tuesday evening.
Miami-Dade Police Spokesman Angel Rodriguez said he wasn’t up to date on the particulars, but that police were notified on Monday of the alleged incident at 10800 Collins Avenue.

He said police interviewed the alleged victim and have passed information on to detectives. It wasn’t immediately clear if they had contacted Hill. The star wideout had not been charged with any crime as of Tuesday evening.
“The allegation was some sort of battery,” Rodriguez said. “We are looking into the matter.”
According to a tip received by Local 10 News, at around 6 p.m. Sunday, Hill, 29, got into a disagreement with a charter company employee and ended up hitting the man.

In a statement to the Herald on Tuesday night, a spokesperson for the Dolphins said: “We are aware of the situation and have been in contact with Tyreek, his representatives and the NFL. We will reserve further comment at this time.”
Hill’s agent didn’t immediately respond to the Herald’s request for comment.
The six-time Pro Bowler’s past legal troubles include having pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery charges when he was in college.
This is a developing story.
