Robbins also attacked someone in a bar and another outside the bar before striking the mother and daughter, TMZ reported, and that he was arrested on two counts of felony battery.

The women said Robbins did not make any statements during the incident, and he “randomly approached them and began hitting them” while they were standing outside of the hotel lobby.

A manager witnessed the attack and called police.

Barret Robbins is back in the news again. He told a police officer at the scene that he did not want to speak with him, the affidavit said.

Robbins made national headlines after he went missing the day before the Super Bowl in 2003. Surviving the week of lead-up before the Super Bowl proved too challenging for a handful of players including Robbins.

Three years later, Robbins was in a police-involved shooting in Miami-Dade County and ended up serving jail time. He wound up spending 30 days at the Betty Ford Center and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Released from custody in 2012, Robbins refused to talk to the media and disappeared from view for a couple of years. He was later sentenced to five years of probation and spent much of the remainder of the decade in and out of rehabilitation facilities.
