A photographer who was seen on video being shoved by Davante Adams filed a police report Monday night.
The man had been carrying equipment when Adams, who was leaving with the other Las Vegas Raiders after their defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs, pushed him, according to footage. After being shoved by Adams, the unidentified man filed a police report with the Kansas City Police Department, according to NFL Media.

The incident will be investigated by our Assault Unit detectives, upon completion they will coordinate with the applicable city or state prosecutor to determine any applicable charges.”
