TMZ Sports has obtained video of Kansas City Chiefs star running back Kareem Huntshoving, bull-rushing and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel back in February. Kareem has not missed a single game this season despite the incident happening MONTHS before the 2018 NFL season kicked off ... and team CEO Clark Hunt publicly stated in August he doubted Hunt would be suspended. In the video, Hunt is seen arguing with a 19-year-old woman outside of his room at The Metropolitan at the 9 at 3:22 AM on February 10, 2018. Hunt turns a corner and confronts the woman, shoving her hard. The woman strikes him back in the face ... and that's when Hunt goes berserk. As friends try to hold him back, the 2017 Pro Bowler -- who led the league in rushing yards -- explodes and knocks one of his friends into the woman ... who both go flying into a wall. Both Kareem's male friend and the woman appear dazed -- but Kareem makes his way over to the female and kicks her while she's crouching on the ground ... knocking her over. Police were called to the scene but no arrests were made. According to police reports, obtained by TMZ Sports, surveillance video from the hotel was obtained by law enforcement. We're told that video is part of the evidence that was submitted to prosecutors. Still, cops did not arrest Hunt and no charges were filed because officers say they were unable to determine if a crime had been committed. At the time of the incident, the woman told police the whole thing started because Kareem kicked her out of his room after she refused to hook up with one of the men in Kareem's entourage. Kareem's friends told cops the woman had gone crazy when asked to leave and called Kareem the n-word ... and then struck one of Kareem's female friends once things turned physical. Unclear why the NFL has not taken any action against Hunt. We reached out to the league to find out if they pursued the video. We also reached out to cops to find out if the NFL contacted them about the footage as well. The whole incident is reminiscent of the Ray Rice scandal when the NFL star knocked outhis then-fiancee in a hotel elevator in Feb. 2014. The NFL suspended him indefinitely -- but only after TMZ Sports published the brutal knockout video from inside the elevator ... video the NFL claimed they had not seen until our story. After the incident, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged failures in the NFL's investigative process and said they would overhaul their protocol. Since then, the NFL claims it has tried to be tougher on players accused of attacking women -- most famously, the league suspended Ezekiel Elliott for 6 games in 2017 stemming from allegations he got physical with an ex-girlfriend in 2016. We reached out to the NFL for comment -- so far, no word back. http://www.tmz.com/2018/11/30/kc-chiefs-kareem-hunt-attacked-kicked-woman-surveillance-video/
"At the time of the incident, the woman told police the whole thing started because Kareem kicked her out of his room after she refused to hook up with one of the men in Kareem's entourage." Why was she in the room in the first place? hmmmm
Wow they just released him! Patriots about to scoop him up. You can tell Chiefs were hoping this wouldn't have been made public until after the Super Bowl.
We need to scoop him up ASAP. This move would be a great way for Cal to make a bang as official owner. No disrespect to Bob, but show the city he’s all in on this team and talented players regardless of background.
I don't understand why they released him. If you really wanted to punish him, release him after the season is over. Releasing him now does nothing except possibly power up a division / conference rival. Just keep him and just bench him until the season is over. Now a NE or a LAC might pick him up.
The description sounds much worse than the video....it appears it was the other guy tripping and pushing her that actually caused her to fall. ...and what did she hit herself with? He deserves some kind of punishment , but the team is clearly overreacting so they don't catch any heat.
Glad they suspended his ass. Never lay hands on a woman. This needs to be clear. It’s also sad the Chiefs only took action after the video went public.
