It was during the fracas that the group are alleged to have said they were going to \u2018shoot\u2019 Lascelles.<\/p>\n<p>In a video seen by Mail Sport, Lascelles is leaning over one of the men in the road and appears to be calling for calm when he is blindsided and punched in the face. He responds by throwing a punch in the direction of the same man.<\/p>\n<p>Sources say the Nottingham-born star was acting in self-defence throughout the incident and was trying to protect his teenage brother.<\/p>\n<p>The group of men then ran off before emergency services arrived and Lascelles\u2019 friend was taken to hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Onlookers say they feared he was dead given he was unconscious for 15 minutes while paramedics worked on him. Police have since spoken to the alleged victim, although we understand no arrests have been made. Northumbria Police did not respond to Mail Sport before publication of this article.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle, meanwhile, are aware of the incident and have seen the video. They say the matter will be dealt with internally.<\/p>\n<p>Lascelles, who joined the club in 2014, was an unused substitute during Newcastle\u2019s 2-1 defeat at home to Liverpool on Sunday. He has appeared 225 times for the Magpies and has been club captain since 2016.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/28\/16\/74800557-12453687-image-a-8_1693237166722.jpg\" height=\"458\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Newcastle are aware of the incident involving Lascelles and say the matter will be dealt with internally<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/28\/16\/74800501-12453687-image-a-7_1693237128222.jpg\" height=\"447\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Lascelles (right) has fallen down the pecking order at Newcastle since Eddie Howe&#8217;s arrival\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12453687\/Newcastle-captain-Jamaal-Lascelles-attacked-violent-city-centre-brawl-gang-threaten-shoot-brother.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles &#8216;attacked&#8217;
