Johnny Manziel, known for his forays into Austin to sample the night life, is accused of breaking the nose of a Sixth Street bar employee in September, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

Eric Newton sued the 23-year-old former Kerrville Tivy and Texas A&M quarterback in a Travis County district court.

The suit, reported by the Facebook page Texas Our Texas, seeks damages of $200,000 to $1 million

Newton was working Sept. 6 at the New York New York bar on a night Manziel was attending a private party, according to a Dallas Morning News story. Manziel reportedly �demanded� that Newton make several drinks, which he could not do because he is not a bartender. Newton was helping the bartender.

The lawsuit states that someone from Manziel�s group overheard Newton speaking to another customer who had asked Newton about his opinion of Manziel.

The person went upstairs and told Manziel what happened. Manziel allegedly �came downstairs, ran behind the bar, cursed at Mr. Newton, and punched him in the face, breaking Mr. Newton�s nose,� the suit states.

Newton allegedly grabbed Manziel and both fell to the floor. Manziel then ran out through the back exit, the lawsuit states.

The Morning News left a message for Manziel�s attorney that had not immediately been returned.

Manziel, a former Cleveland Browns No. 1 draft pick who is now out of football, is due to appear in a Dallas courtroom Thursday on a separate matter, a misdemeanor assault charge. Lawyers are working on a conditional dismissal agreement.

In that case, Manziel�s ex-girlfriend accused him of kidnapping, beating and threatening to kill her.
