LeSean McCoy sued for alleged party bus assault

LeSean McCoy was sued by a woman who claimed the Eagles running back sprayed her with a beverage on a party bus and then kicked her off the vehicle on the New Jersey Turnpike in December, according to a TMZ report.

LeSean McCoy was sued by a woman who claimed the Eagles running back sprayed her with a beverage on a party bus and then kicked her off the vehicle on the New Jersey Turnpike in December, according to courts documents.

The lawsuit was filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on May 10 by a woman using the name "Mary Roe." According to the lawsuit, McCoy "invited 15 women to join him on a party bus that went from Philadelphia to a New York nightclub on Dec. 18, 2012."

Roe also demands judgment against defendant Luxury Rentals, Inc., of $50,000.

McCoy's attorney, Andrew Smith, issued a statement on his behalf.

"The allegations against LeSean McCoy are completely, unequivocally false," the statement said. "There are no criminal charges pending and no probable cause was ever found. This is sadly an attempt to extract money and LeSean will vigorously defend any attempt to collect money through a personal injury claim."

McCoy was spotted earlier leaving the NovaCare Complex on Wednesday. Before he hopped into the passenger seat of a black Porsche he was asked to comment, but declined and said, "I got to go."

The Eagles are aware of the allegations but did not have a comment.

A source close to McCoy said that he did not dispute removing the woman from the bus after she asked to leave, but that the other allegations were false.

McCoy, 24, missed four games late last season because of concussion. He did not play against the Bengals on Dec. 13, but was back in uniform on Dec. 23. Eagles players were typically given off on Tuesdays, the day of the week when this incident alledgedly took place.

The lawsuit claims that McCoy and other men, including his bodyguard, "Big John," began to spray some women with water during the trip. Roe then protested the spraying, according to the lawsuit, and McCoy told "Big John" to get her.

The suit alledges that either McCoy or the bodyguard then hit her in the face and to the ground and that she was forcibly ejected from the bus to the side of the road. Roe filed a report with the New Jersey police and had to take two trains back to Philadelphia.

In an unrelated incident later in January, McCoy apologized after he got into a Twitter spat with the apparent mother of his son.

McCoy, a Harrisburg native, was drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2009 draft. He was named an all pro running back in 2011.
