Eyewitness video has emerged showing St. John Vianney High wrestling star Anthony Knox sprinting into the bleachers to engage in a wild brawl during the District 25 tournament Saturday, placing his path to winning a historic fourth state championship next month in serious jeopardy.

The eyewitness video evidence — observed across several social media sites — appears to show Knox dashing into the stands at Collingswood High School after his father, Anthony Knox Sr., first marched into the bleachers to engage with fans. From there, video shows the younger Knox appearing to throw punches in the stands, and a separate video depicts Knox being led away by police in handcuffs.
