Damar Hamlin, a Buffalo Bills player and American football star, reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest during a National Football League (NFL) game on Monday night.

The 24-year-old tripped over an opponent during the opening period of a game against the Cincinnati Bengals and fell to the ground, reported BBC.

The official Twitter handle of the Buffalo Bills said that Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after the hit.
