Video footage emerges in NFL player Ray Rice assault incident

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was arrested Saturday morning after a domestic dispute involving his fiancée at a resort in Atlantic City, N.J.

The Baltimore Sun, which first broke the story, said Rice was charged, and subsequently released, for an incident which his lawyer Andrew Alperstein called a "very minor physical altercation." Rice's fiancée Janay Palmer was also arrested for her involvement in the altercation.

Now video footage obtained by TMZ shows that the incident may have been more serious than reported by the Rice camp. The video shows the NFL player dragging a woman, presumably Palmer, out of an elevator. The woman appeared to be unconscious.

Website Deadspin, citing its sources, says Palmer allegedly spit on Rice during an argument, and in retaliation Rice knocked her out with an uppercut punch.

Police booked both Rice and Palmer for simple assault. Find the video below.
