"I did not see the swinging of the bat, but I saw the kid on the ground holding, like, blood and asking for a towel," said Lauren McLaughlin, Daniels' ex-girlfriend. "I was in shock. I was in major shock. I don’t know where it came from. He’s a good guy; I have nothing bad to say about him. Something snapped.”

Daniels is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and is out on bail.
