N.J. cops charge star wrestler for his involvement in ugly brawl, court docs show

Anthony Knox Jr. — the three-time state champion who was disqualified from the postseason last week before being reinstated by a judge — has been charged for his alleged involvement in a brawl in the bleachers at Collingswood High School on Feb. 22.

Collingswood police charged Knox, the St. John Vianney wrestler, with simple assault-purposely/knowingly causing bodily injury, court documents show.

In an event that has gripped the New Jersey sports world, videos show Knox charged into the crowd and appeared to have thrown punches during the District 25 Tournament after his father, Anthony Knox Sr., confronted fans from an opposing team.
