HOUSTON — Prosecutors in Houston say a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett for injuring a paraplegic woman as he tried to get onto the field at last year’s Super Bowl to celebrate with his brother.

The Harris County district attorney’s office says a grand jury indicted Bennett on Friday on a felony count of injury to the elderly.

Authorities say Bennett was a spectator at the game in Houston when he tried to get onto the field immediately after the game to see his brother, Martellus Bennett, a tight end for the Patriots at the time. Prosecutors say he pushed through security personnel, including a 66-year-old disabled woman who had told him to use a different entrance to access the field, after the Patriots came from behind to beat the Falcons, 34-28, in Super Bowl LI.

The Eagles, who earlier this month acquired Bennett from the Seahawks, commented on the matter later Friday.

“We are aware of the situation involving Michael Bennett and are in the process of gathering more information,” the team said in a statement. “Because this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.”
