Sydney Roosters player Dylan Napa has been referred to the NRL integrity unit after he was allegedly knocked out at a party on Sydney‘s Northern Beaches.
According to News Corp, Napa was attempting to assist a woman who was being harassed and yelled at by a man when he was struck with a fire poker. He was reportedly asleep before the attack, and was awoken by the commotion.
It is not known at this time who struck Napa, though the suggestion is that it was a third party-goer. Two other people were injured during the incident, and all three – including Napa – were taken to hospital.
Six hundred people were in attendance at the party, which was hosted at a Palm Beach mansion. It was a charity event called Palmblu which raises money for the Vasculitis Foundation.
