Cleveland Browns safety Ronnie Hickman was jumped by a crew of thugs at a trendy Lower East Side hotel Monday, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
Hickman, 24 — an NFL starter and onetime Ohio State standout who graduated from De Paul Catholic High School in Passaic, NJ — was approached by four goons in the lobby of the SIXTY LES hotel on Allen Street shortly after 4:30 a.m., and a dispute broke out, police and sources said.
The grid player’s attackers recognized him as playing for the Browns, sources said.
The suspects then slugged Hickman and took off.
The NFL star was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
Police have not announced any arrests in the attack.
Hickman joined the Browns in 2023 after going undrafted in that year’s NFL draft and remains on the team’s roster.
