Just hours before his first game of the season, Tyreek Hill was arrested for a traffic accident just one block from the Miami Dolphins stadium.

Footage of the alleged roadside arrest, which took place on the morning of Sept. 8 and was documented by several bystanders, shows the Dolphins wide receiver lying facedown on the ground, handcuffed next to his vehicle, while four police officers surround him.

Shortly after the incident, the Dolphins released a statement on social media announcing that Hill’s altercation with police occurred near Rock Stadium, where he and the Dolphins are scheduled to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1 p.m. local time.

“This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was stopped and briefly detained by police for a traffic accident approximately one block from the stadium,” the Dolphins said in a statement shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).

The NFL star has since been released, the statement said, which also revealed that other Dolphins players witnessed Hill’s detention.

“Several teammates witnessed the incident and stopped to offer assistance,” the statement said. “Tyreek and all other players involved arrived safely at the stadium and will be available for today’s game.”

Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus also confirmed that his game against the Jaguars is still scheduled.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rosenhaus told the network he was “just” with the player, who was “preparing for today’s game.”

Rosenhaus also confirmed that the arrest occurred as Hill was on his way to the stadium, telling ESPN that it was “unbelievable” and “completely unnecessary.”

“I am very upset about this,” the agent added. “We need to look into this.”

Rosenhaus and the Miami-Dade Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
