Sprague was at The Stage on Broadway when the woman accosted him and landed a punch.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI was outside with my friends when someone grabbed me from behind, spun me around, and punched me in the face. At first I thought it was a friend until I got hit. I couldn\u2019t believe someone could get that upset.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the New York Post, Sprague and the woman were both kicked out of the premises, and Sprague never got the chance to call the police.<\/p>\n
