Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has found himself in hot water yet again.

The outspoken 30-year-old star better have a good lawyer, because one of his neighbors recently filed a lawsuit against him for allegedly almost killing his toddler. (RELATED: Drake And Antonio Brown Surprise Hotel Maid With $10K Shopping Spree)

Ophir Sternberg claims Antonio Brown threw heavy furniture and glass objects out of his 14th floor apartment onto the pool grounds down below. “Large objects started to fall from the building many floors above them,” so says the lawsuit. Sternberg says that two big glass vases, an ottoman, and several other large objects fell just a couple feet from his 22-month-old son and it could have killed him.

Police later responded to the scene and caught the entire incident on surveillance video.

“Mr. Brown was extremely agitated, acting aggressively and yelling at security personnel when [police] arrived to the scene,” Sternberg says.

He claims Brown acted “without regard for human life,” so he’s suing for assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

It’s not clear how much he’s seeking, but judging from how angry Sternberg seems, you can bet it’s a lot.

Brown has not commented on the matter.
