It was a rough Oscars weekend for Marty York.
The actor and former child star, who starred in the baseball comedy “The Sandlot,” was spotted getting into a physical altercation outside a Los Angeles nightclub on Saturday, March 14, according to footage of the incident obtained by TMZ.
York’s representative, German Morales, confirmed the incident to USA TODAY.
In the video, York, 45, can be seen scuffling with another man outside the Warwick nightclub, where the actor had been attending a pre-Oscars party hosted by LA Today.
York and the man later appeared to find their way to a parking garage area as the altercation continues, per the footage released by TMZ. The man briefly tumbles to the ground after attempting to punch York.
“Marty was briefly involved in an incident where he was approached by an intoxicated individual, and he acted in self-defense,” Morales said in a statement. “He was not the aggressor. At this time, Marty prefers not to make any further public statement and is focusing on his work.”
USA TODAY has reached out to Warwick for comment.
York was 12 when he landed the role of Alan “Yeah-Yeah” McClennan, a smart-mouthed third baseman, in “The Sandlot.” The sports comedy, which also starred Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar and Patrick Renna, grossed $32.4 million worldwide and spawned two sequels: 2005’s “The Sandlot 2” and 2007’s “The Sandlot: Heading Home.”
York has appeared on several TV series, including “Saved by the Bell: The College Years,” “Boy Meets World” and “Wings,” as well as the short films “The Trainer” and “Super Bois.”
He recently guest starred on an episode of the ABC comedy “Abbott Elementary.”
