Pittsburgh Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter has been charged with assaulting a doorman at a bar and a police officer who intervened hours after the team's wild card win over the Miami Dolphins.

The altercation took place at The Flats on Carson about 9:30pm on Sunday, just hours after the Steelers' 30-12 home victory over the Dolphins in the opening round of the NFL playoffs.

According to a criminal complaint, officer Paul Abel was working security at another nearby bar when he was told by an off-duty officer the doorman at the bar was being threatened by a Steeler.

Abel said he arrived to find the doorman refusing to let Porter - who appeared to be intoxicated - into the club.

'Last time you were here, you threatened to kill me,' Abel overheard the doorman saying to Porter. 'You need to leave. You are not getting in.' Police didn't immediately explain the context of the remark, but online court records don't show any charges relating to such an incident.

Abel, the 5-foot-6, 145-pound officer who filed the complaint, said Porter, 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds, ignored him when he asked what was going on and grabbed him by the arms and lifted him off the ground. The doorman, described as 6-foot and 195 pounds, wasn't aggressive with Porter and had his hands in his pockets, according to the complaint.
