Former NFL player Antonio Brown was captured by US authorities on Thursday, four months after he allegedly opened fire at a crowded event in Miami, Florida.

The ex-player's detention was confirmed by the Miami police, as per NBC, but the cops declined to divulge details on the place of his arrest or when the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver was taken into custody.

Brown is wanted in connection with a shooting on May 16 this year, which took place outside an amateur boxing event in the neighbourhood of Little Haiti in Miami. Videos showed the ex-player allegedly getting involved in a melee, following which gunshots were heard.
