A few days ago, it was reported that Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his fiancee were both arrested after the couple allegedly attacked one another. While Rice’s representative explains that it was a “minor altercation”, the video obtained by TMZ may show a completely different story.
In the video, Rice allegedly is seen dragging his fiancee out of an elevator. She is unable to move or even stand up on her own. In the video, a security officer appears to rush over at which point Rice walks away leaving his fiancee face down on the floor.
Rice’s attorney had the following statement regarding the video, “However, the video that’s being posted by TMZ Sports is not the complete event, but is merely the end result of what transpired. We’ll assure the public that when this matter is fully tried and completed, you’ll have a better understanding of what happened and we ask the public to reserve making any judgment until all of the facts come out.”
The NFL will take a look into the case as part of their personal conduct policy. This video shows a different side of Rice who is heavily involved in anti-bullying. Domestic violence is never acceptable and this was clearly not a “minor” incident.
