The viral incident was caught on broadcast cameras following the Chiefs' Monday night win
Star receiver Davante Adams had several highlight-reel catches in the Las Vegas Raiders Monday Night Football loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Unfortunately, it's another moment from after the game that is going viral for the wideout.
Broadcast cameras captured an outburst from Adams where he openly shoved a freelance photographer with ESPN to the ground on his way to the locker room.
Now, police have confirmed that the photographer has filed a police report following a trip to the hospital after the game.
The photographer jumps up after the shove. A summary from police indicates that the injuries weren't serious.
Adams has already apologized for the incident. He spoke with reporters in the locker room following the defeat. In his postgame comments, he underplayed the shove as pushing someone out of the way that jumped in front of him.
CBS 8, a local news affiliate in Las Vegas, captured another angle of shove as well as Adams's locker room comments.
The shove came shortly after an Adams toe-tap sideline catch was overturned by official review on the second to last play of the game. The play was likely the final difference in the Monday night loss.
The incident is currently being handled by KCPD's assault unit detectives. The investigation is expected to take several days to wrap up.
Police say that the photographer made private arrangements to go to the hospital for treatment. Further identification of the man that filed the police report are currently unknown.
