Las Vegas police on Monday said they were investigating a fan’s connection to the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals quarterback shortly after the team’s win on Sunday.
The police department said via email that the criminal investigation involves allegations that “a spectator at the stadium hit a professional football player”.
The video shows someone in the stands at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium reaching over fans at the end area fence and touching the Cardinals’ Kyler Murray in the face with an open hand.
Murray had just crossed the end of the field and headed into the stands to celebrate his team’s overall victory with slaps on the back and high arm. He was almost beaten by the time he returned to the field. He turned to the fans once more to face the unseen man.
“A crime report has been made, and the suspect has yet to be identified,” the police department said.
Spokesman Carl Francis said the NFL Players Association is monitoring the investigation. Representatives for Murray, the Cardinals and Sunday’s team and host opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
