The Sydney Roosters have referred an incident involving Dylan Napa to the NRL integrity unit after the star forward was allegedly knocked out at a party.

News Corp Australia reports Napa was coming to the aid of a woman when he was struck with a fire poker by another party-goer on Sydney's northern beaches.

The Roosters player was allegedly asleep at the Palm Beach property when he was awoken by screaming, and he saw a man destroying property and yelling at a woman.

He was reportedly knocked unconscious when he was hit.

Two other people were injured in the incident, and all three were taken to hospital.
