Tyler Judson may have played his final football game after the Tulane football player was arrested earlier this week when a woman accused him of punching her in the face at a Louisiana Waffle House.
The mother of the alleged victim told WWL-TV her daughter was at the restaurant when a fight with Judson broke out.
“One punch, a witness said, flipped Coleman face-first onto the pavement.
Coleman’s mother, Desiree Coleman, said the two did not know each other, and her daughter didn’t pick a fight. Still, she ended up hospitalized, in intensive care, with horrific injuries. Four days after the punch, both of her eyes are still swollen shut.
“She had multiple facial fractures. She has to have surgery, but it’s not clear what the surgery’s going to be until some of the swelling goes down,” said Desiree Coleman.
“I said ‘Don’t worry baby.’ I said ‘Don’t worry about what I see. You’re going to be ok.’ I said, ‘But I just need to step out and talk to the nurse.’ But I needed to get out because it was that horrible,” the mother said.
Tulane University released a statement that said Judson was being suspended.
“He has been suspended indefinitely from the Tulane football program. Tulane Athletics will have no further comment at this time.”
