Ravens Website

A new video has surfaced in the Ray Rice domestic violence incident.

TMZ has just posted a video of the punch that occurred just before the Raven’s football player was seen dragging his fiancé Janay Palmer out of an elevator at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City.

The video shows that Rice hit Palmer and she responded by striking back.

Then, Rice punches her knocking Palmer to the floor.  She hits her head on the hand rail rendering her unconscious.

Rice and Palmer are now married.
