Former NFL player John Abraham was forced to stop playing football last season after he suffered a concussion while suiting up for the Cardinals. But Abraham—who is the Falcons' all-time sack leader—is allegedly still making big hits off the field.

The former linebacker is wanted in Brookhaven, Ga. right now on a battery charge after allegedly punching his business partner Vladmir Ako in the face five times at a strip club called the Pink Pony back in February. According to Brookhaven police, Abraham and Ako had a falling out over money several years ago, but that didn't stop Ako from approaching Abraham when he saw him at the Pink Pony to try and smooth things over. Abraham wasn't having any of it, though, and he reportedly responded to Ako by punching him. Police have obtained surveillance video of the incident.

Stay tuned for further details.
