Mercyhurst University hockey player Carson Briere is facing three misdemeanor charges after a video surfaced last week that showed him pushing an unoccupied wheelchair down a flight of stairs.
Briere, the son of former NHL player and current Flyers interim general manager Danny Briere, was charged with criminal mischief, criminal conspiracy to commit mischief and disorderly conduct, per the Associated Press. Mercyhurst lacrosse player Patrick Carrozzi also faces the same three charges.
Last week, Briere and his father issued statements apologizing for the incident after the school announced it had begun an investigation into the matter.
