Well, here’s a story we’ve never seen before.

A man was arrested at Rivers Casino in the Chicago suburbs after slapping Devin Hester in the back of the head, as reported by Jennifer Delgado of Triblocal.

The story goes like this: Hester was in line at the casino when a 52-year-old man walked up behind him, slapped him in the head, and walked away.

Hester told security, who detained the man. Daniel Rago was ultimately charged with misdemeanor assault.

“Devin was basically attacked. He did the right thing and showed great restraint in an unfortunate situation,” Hester’s agent Eugene Parker said.

We know Vikings fans are frustrated with the direction of the season, but this is ridiculous.
