In new footage released from the night, one of the actor’s alleged victims informs police officers that Miller targeted them, spitting in their face.
In the clip obtained by , the actor claims that they were assaulted, explaining that they started filming the incident because ‘I film myself when I get assaulted for NFT crypto art’.

During the course of their investigation, police determined that the [person], later identified as Ezra Miller, became agitated while patrons at the bar began singing karaoke.
‘Miller began yelling obscenities and at one point grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke (disorderly conduct offense) and later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts (harassment offense). The bar owner asked Miller to calm down several times to no avail.’
Miller was in April for second-degree assault, reportedly throwing a chair, which is set to have hit a woman on the forehead.
