Shortly after the Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams was seen shoving a cameraman to the ground on his way to the locker room.
It was an ugly scene, and while Adams did make a public apology, the cameraman that was on the receiving end of the push went to the police shortly after and filed a police report, according to TMZ.

He reportedly told police he was the victim of an assault and claimed he was injured as a result.
He was also taken to a local hospital, according to local authorities.
Adams apologized in his post-game press conference and on Twitter.
Sorry to the guy I pushed over after the game. Obviously very frustrated at the way the game ended and when he ran infront of me as I exited that was my reaction and I felt horrible immediately. Thats not me..MY APOLOGIES man hope you see this.

This is the second time in as many weeks a police report has been filed for an interaction involving a player at a game.
Last week Los Angeles Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner had a police report filed against him after he tackled a protestor that rushed the field and disrupted their game against the San Francisco 49ers.
