This story is absolutely wild.

Myles Garrett was simply in Cleveland area traffic when a fan jumped out of their car requesting to have a photo with the star.

It quickly went from a photo request to the fan punching the Browns defensive end in the face and running off.

A “fan” hopped out his car to take a picture with me and then punched me in my face. Hm, put your legs into it might have actually made me flinch. ??

Was in my car, flagged me down for a picture and I cracked the window enough for the camera to get my face. Took the pic and gave me a pillow tap

Well, another fan behind Garrett just so happened to see the punch, so he took his phone out and captured the moment the fan sped off in his car, basically confirming what Garrett had said.

That fan has since been identified. News 5 Cleveland reported Wednesday night that 24-year-old Richard Perez was the guy who pulled up next to Garrett requesting a photo and ultimately delivering the punch.
