Stood-down Collingwood star Jordan De Goey<\/a> will reportedly claim self-defence when he fronts a New York court next month charged with assault.<\/p>\n

De Goey was arrested, along with his friend Luke Dyson, a fortnight ago over an alleged incident inside a Manhattan nightclub.<\/p>\n

De Goey was charged with forcible touching as well, relating to allegations made by a woman, but those have since been dropped.<\/p>\n

It's alleged De Goey and Dyson assaulted a man, who was said to be coming to the aid of the woman.<\/p>\n

Dey Goey has been silent since the arrest, bar a short statement released through his lawyer on Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, The Age reports<\/a> De Goey has told his AFL club he was acting in self defence when he punched the man.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The report claims De Goey and Dyson were in a VIP section of the club when women began taking their drinks, and the Magpies star and his friend told them to leave.<\/p>\n

De Goey will allege he was then confronted by men, one of whom he punched in self defence.<\/p>\n

The rival group was reportedly kicked out of the club, but De Goey and Dyson were arrested a short time later and charged.<\/p>\n

De Goey is due to face court again on December 8.<\/p>\n
