In a recent turn of events, Daniel Sprong, the newly signed winger for the Detroit Red Wings, may face a turbulent time as recent shocking news has surfaced. A former IndyCar series driver, Zach Claman DeMelo has accused the winger of assaulting him at a night club during a Grand Prix weekend.
DeMelo took to Instagram to report the incident. According to DeMelo, he was assaulted by Sprong in a Grand Prix weekend nightclub where Sprong grabbed him by the neck and was pinned against the wall.
The scuffle between the two became so heated that they had to be separated. And just when Zach thought that the situation is under control, the Red Wings winger, Sprong rushed back and launched a sucker hit straight in the face.
