(CNN) An NFL player was arrested Friday night on suspicion of public intoxication and breaking a hotel window in Nashville, the Tennessee city where the league is holding its annual draft, police said.

Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin , 29, was walking along a downtown Nashville street late Friday when he punched and destroyed a front window at the Hotel Indigo, a witness told police.

Police were called, and an officer saw Griffin "stumbling on the sidewalk, almost going into the road and traffic on the road," a court affidavit reads.

Griffin's left hand and fingers were bleeding, and an officer smelled alcohol on his breath, the document says. Griffin was arrested on initial charges of public intoxication and vandalism, Nashville police said.

"He was physically arrested rather than being issued misdemeanor citations for his own safety," police said in a news release.
