LOS ANGELES (AFP) — New England Patriots defensive end Christian Barmore is facing charges of domestic assault, court records showed on Wednesday.

Barmore, 26, has been charged with misdemeanor assault and battery on a household or family member following an incident in August.

The case comes just a day after it emerged that the Patriots star wide receiver Stefon Diggs was also facing assault charges in an unrelated case.

The Patriots said in a statement on Wednesday that the team had been “made aware at the time of the incident” involving Barmore and had already informed the National Football League.

“The matter remains part of an ongoing legal process,” the Patriots said. 

“We will respect that process, continue to monitor the situation closely, as we have over the past few months, and cooperate fully with the league.”

ABC television reported that Barmore was alleged to have shoved a woman he was in a relationship with to the floor following an argument.

Barmore’s attorney David Meier — who is also representing Diggs in his case — described the incident as a “personal matter.”
