Greene was punched in the face and stomped on near an elevator, and was unconscious for “over two minutes.” The lawsuit claims Kamara “deliberately used violent force against (Greene) with the intent to inflict actual damage.”
Greene's orbital lobe was broken and he had severe injuries to his shoulder, back, head, knees, face and neck, the lawsuit said.
Kamara's agent, Brad Cicala, declined to comment on the lawsuit, NOLA.com reported.
