According to WJLA7, a new video that appears to show Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice striking his then-fiancee in an elevator last February has been released on a celebrity news website.
The grainy video by TMZ apparently shows Rice and Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. An earlier TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator.
Rice’s lawyer, Michael Diamondstein, would not comment.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the latest video was not made available to the league and “no one in our office has seen it until today.”
Rice was suspended for two games by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who later toughened penalties for football players accused of domestic violence, including six weeks suspension for a first offense and at least a year for a second.
