Former NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards made a potential lifesaving rescue of a senior citizen who was being beaten in the locker room of a Michigan YMCA over a disagreement.
Edwards said he was in the locker room at the YMCA in Farmington Hills, Michigan, when he overheard a 25-year-old man and an 80-year-old man having an argument, which soon turned physical.
"I walk into the locker room after work, and basically, I hear about four rows behind me arguing about music and how it was being played too loud," Edwards told Click on Detroit. "So I’m not paying attention, and I was just minding my business."
The former Cleveland Browns and New York Jets player added that once he heard a troubling sound, he decided to investigate.
"The noise escalates, and then you can hear some pushing and shoving, so you know what fighting sounds like, but once I hear a thud, that’s when I got up and turned around," Edwards continued. "Then I see the guy, for what I was thinking was reaching for a phone underneath the victim, grabs the back of the victim’s head by the hair, and he was about to slam it down on the counter."
According to reports, the 25-year-old was beating the elderly man, with law enforcement officials telling Edwards that if he hadn't stepped in, the senior most likely would have died.
"If you hadn't stepped in at that critical moment, this man he could have been killed," reporter Shawn Ley told Edwards.
"I didn’t know it was that serious, I mean the victim probably had a serious concussion by nature, but it wasn’t until I talked to Detective Jacobs down in Farmington, who told me that if I didn’t step in ... but at the end of the day that’s what you do," Edwards explained.

The unidentified 25-year-old initially fled on foot, causing police to direct local schools to go into lockdown procedures as a precaution until the suspect was found. The suspect was apprehended and remained in custody with no further updates from local outlets.
The victim was recovering in a hospital, and Edwards said that he hoped to meet him once he was released.
"People go to work out, they have a good time, they live 80 years, and this isn't how they expect for something to maybe take their life," Edwards commented, stressing the need to protect elders. "My mom, my grandmother, my father ... in that moment when you come back home, these are the people you think about."

Transvestite cleared of exposing his genitals to women at Ohio YMCA after judge ruled his fat played a concealing role
An Ohio man was charged earlier this year for exposing himself to multiple women, in one instance with little girls present.
While the presiding judge in 31-year-old Darren Glines' case determined there was "no question that Glines was in the women's locker room," he ultimately let the transvestite off the hook because of the YMCA's gender identification policy and the transvestite's giant gut.
What's the background?
TheBlaze reported in February that Glines was charged in Xenia Municipal Court with three counts of public indecency for exposing himself in September, November, and on a third occasion with kids present — all fourth-degree misdemeanor charges.
A Greene County mother told WLWT that she was "upset" and "shaken," after Glines, of Fairborn, allegedly exposed his penis to her and her 13-year-old and 16-year-old daughters in one of the reported instances.
Despite having an intact penis, Glines allegedly told the concerned mother that he was in fact a woman.
The mother reportedly found no help from the director of the YMCA, who indicated that Glines and men like him couldn't be stopped from entering women's spaces.
The YMCA of Greater Dayton refused to bar the male patron from the once female-only space.
"Under no circumstance will we investigate an individual’s birth identity and then assign individuals to locker rooms. That would be counter to the law, counter to respect for all people and it is not who or what we are as an organization," the organization said in a statement.
The organization told WLWT that "Greater Dayton YMCA adheres to Ohio and Federal laws and antidiscrimination laws which allow all members access to its facilities and programs, regardless of religion, national origin, race, color, sex, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation."
Fat chance
Hopes that Glines might be held to account were dashed on April 28 when Judge David McNamee cleared Glines in Xenia Municipal Court, noting that the YMCA permitted him to be in the women's locker room and his gut likely covered his penis, reported WHIO-TV.
"There is no question that [Glines] was in the women’s locker room. However, [Glines] was not charged with trespass, nor was [Glines] charged with being in an area of the YMCA where [Glines] was not supposed to be," McNamee wrote, citing permission provided to Glines by Fairborn YMCA executive director Jacqueline Brockman.
Glines' activist attorneys Lauren and Keara Dever argued that in addition to having the permission to parade around naked in the women's locker room, it is "fair to say that the whole genital area was covered by body fat."
McNamee appeared to agree, writing, "Glines' genitalia was not visible as a result of other portions of her body covering same."
Reduxx reported that Glines weighs over 350lbs.
RedState indicated that two precedents are set in this case: "First, if a man is so fat that their genitals can’t be clearly seen, then it’s apparently fine for them to get naked in front of little girls at a YMCA. ... Further, it is now apparently acceptable for a man to get naked in front of little girls as long as the degenerates at the front desk of an establishment give him permission to enter the woman’s locker room."
Emboldening offenders
Kateisha Young, a YMCA Fairborn employee who testified as a witness on behalf of the prosecution, told Reduxx that she was initially welcoming of Glines and supportive of his claims of womanhood. However, her support withered after he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
"He let me believe he was a friend, and he told me that he wasn’t interested in me sexually. Then, as I’m trying to comfort him with a hug … I’m thrown for a loop, world-shattering reality," said Young.
Young secured a protective order against Glines, which went into effect in January. After learning there had been other women victimized by the transvestite, Young testified against him and expressed certainty that he would re-offend.
"I definitely think he will try what he did to me with someone else, especially with the not guilty verdict. He will feel emboldened to be exposed, but also he will have access to more sympathizers who are just as I was… ultimately naive [and] fooled, until he makes his move," said Young.

Ohio transsexual charged with indecent exposure after allegedly brandishing his manhood in women's locker room with girls present
An Ohio man masquerading as a woman in a YMCA women's locker room has been charged with indecent exposure, signaling a possible prioritization of common sense over ideology.
WHIO reported that complaints from real women at the YMCA center in Xenia began to pile up, accusing 31-year-old Darren Glines of various improprieties, but virtually all on the same theme.
The complaints, which go back to 2021, were filed by people who "reported seeing a naked male in the female's locker room," with three little girls present in one instance.
Xenia City Council President William Urschel echoed one of the complaints in a recent Green County Tea Party meeting that one woman who complained "went to the front desk and said, 'Hey, I don't know if you know what's going on, but there's a naked man in there.'"
Urschel suggested that the woman had been told in response, "'No, this is actually a woman and ... you shouldn't be disturbed by this.'"
A Greene County mother told WLWT that she was "upset" and "shaken" after Glines, of Fairborn, allegedly exposed himself to her and her 13-year-old and 16-year-old daughters.
Despite brandishing at least one piece of evidence to the contrary, Glines allegedly told the concerned mother he was in fact a woman.
The mother reportedly found no help from the director of the YMCA, who indicated Glines and men like him couldn't be stopped from entering women's spaces.
The YMCA of Greater Dayton doubled down in support for male members in women's locker rooms, writing in a recent statement, "Under no circumstance will we investigate an individual’s birth identity and then assign individuals to locker rooms. That would be counter to the law, counter to respect for all people and it is not who or what we are as an organization."
The organization told WLWT that the "Greater Dayton YMCA adheres to Ohio and Federal laws and antidiscrimination laws which allow all members access to its facilities and programs, regardless of religion, national origin, race, color, sex, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation."
Local resident and real woman Kim Coates told WHIO, "I'm not judging nobody, that's not my business, but that's a family place. ... It doesn't make me feel comfortable or at a safe place."
Another real woman told the local news outfit, "Whatever gender you want to be, that's fine, that's your own personal taste or whatever. But you don't have to involve our young people."
The Journal-News reported that Glines, who calls himself Rachel, was charged in Xenia Municipal Court with three counts of public indecency for exposing himself in September, November, and on a third occasion with kids present, all fourth-degree misdemeanor charges.
Urschel, affiliated with the Republican Party, indicated that if the city is successful in prosecuting Glines, it may bring legal action against the YMCA for aiding and abetting the alleged crimes.
The city council president suggested that the "pendulum has swung to where gender identity rights have trumped laws of privacy and public indecency," suggesting that it's high time Americans go about resolving the underlying confusion.
Democrats lashed out at Urschel after he appeared to suggest that women and girls shouldn't be subjected to indecencies to sate the ideological ambitions of social constructivists.
Kim McCarthy, chair of the Greene County Democratic Party, called Urschel's stance "extremely disappointing," suggesting that he should turn his focus elsewhere.
Looking elsewhere might force one to realize that this is not an isolated incident.
TheBlaze reported last month that a California girl was emotionally scarred after a man entered the women's locker room while she was showering at the YMCA in Santee, California.
Rebecca Phillips, 17, told the Santee City Council that after the incident, she second-guessed ever bringing her 5-year-old sister back to the gym to enjoy the water slides, adding, "This is the YMCA where hundreds of children spend their summer afternoons in child-care camps. This is the YMCA where my little sister took gymnastics lessons. The locker room was supposed to be her safe haven to gossip with her friends and shower and change."
