Former NFL star Aaron Hernandez was involved in a jail altercation with another inmate, but neither man required medical attention, a Massachusetts sheriff said Wednesday.

The altercation took place Tuesday in a common area of the Bristol County House of Correction in Dartmouth, where only one inmate at a time is supposed to be out of his cell, Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said.

It's unclear which inmate was the aggressor. Hodgson said jail staff are interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance video to figure out what happened and determine whether disciplinary measures or criminal charges are warranted.

"An altercation took place between two inmates, and one of them was Aaron Hernandez,'' Hodgson told ABC News. "We will be studying video and proceeding with interviews to determine why and how the incident took place to determine whether internal discipline or criminal charges are warranted."
