Police say former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was attacked during a run-in with a facility-service employee at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Internatio­nal Airport on Tuesday.

An Atlanta police spokesman said Jones, an NFL free agent, confronted the airport employee after the employee made a gesture toward Jones. Police say words were exchanged before the employee struck Jones with a closed fist, causing a cut to Jones’ face.

Cell-phone video footage shows that Jones and the airport employee traded several punches. The airport employee was arrested on two counts of battery and taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for injuries. Jones was not charged.

The New York Giants spent a 2019 thirdround draft pick on Western Michigan cornerback Sam Beal, and Washington selected Virginia Tech cornerback Adonis Alexander in the sixth round of the supplement­al draft. New York loses its third-round pick in April’s draft. Washington will give up a sixth-rounder.
