Photos emerge of Zachary Claman DeMelo's face after alleged assault

Earlier this week, former INDYCAR driver Zach Claman DeMelo is alleging that he was assaulted by NHL forward Daniel Sprong at a nightclub during Grand Prix weekend.

He wrote the following on his Instagram account: 

”During Grand Prix weekend I was at a night club with @detroitredwings @nhl player @sprong11. He grabbed my neck and pinned me on a wall, we were separated during that scuffle. After when I had believed the situation was over Daniel came back and sucker punched me in the face while I was defenceless.. The photos in the slide before is the after math of the incident. The dental work needed was brutal and I'm still not finished. I also sustained a concussion that l've been dealing with over the past few weeks.”

And now, there are photos included of DeMelo's face showing the damage from the alleged incident.

Sprong was one of several players signed by Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman this offseason; the Danish forward spent last season with the Seattle Kraken and has also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Anaheim Ducks and Washington Capitals.
