Four mean have officially been charged after attacking former NHLer Paul Bissonnette at a Phoenix restaurant last November.

Paul Bissonnette is one of the most beloved analyst in the NHL.

Last November though he got himself into trouble as he intervened when several men became disorderly at a Phoenix area restaurant the former NHLer visits often.

The incident led to Bissonnette calling the police and eventually, several arrests were made.

Four men were eventually indicted on both felony and misdemeanor charges for their actions that night.

They were Sean Michael Daley, Danny Bradley, John Gerrard Carroll and Henry Peter Mesker.

'A Maricopa County grand jury indicted Sean Michael Daley, Danny Bradley, John Gerrard Carroll and Henry Peter Mesker on Jan. 17.They each were charged with the class 6 felony of aggravated assault and the class 1 misdemeanor of disorderly conduct.'
'The indictment for the assault count says the defendants "intentionally, knowingly or recklessly did cause physical injury to Paul Albert Bissonnette, while his capacity to resist was substantially impaired.'

They have been held in a Phoenix area jail since then as they await trial.

Now, each of them have been formally charged with aggravated a**ault and disorderly conduct.

There were at least two more men involved in the incident in some capacity, but those two avoided charges, presumably by behaving properly while their drunk friends made fools of themselves.

Eventually, security footage of what happened was released, showing Bissonnette being chased around a parking lot by his attackers.

Hopefully the legal system will continue to run its course and all of the men involved will get what is coming to them.

Be sure to stay tuned for more updates on this story as we await trial.
