Police report - Video evidence supports allegations against New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara
METAIRIE, La. — Video surveillance shows New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara punching a man approximately eight times before Kamara's associates proceeded to stomp on him several more times on the ground in a Las Vegas casino on Saturday morning, according to the police report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Kamara was later taken into custody inside Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium on Sunday evening after he played in the Pro Bowl. He was interviewed by police and then arrested for battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and booked at the Clark County Detention Center. Kamara was released after posting bail later Sunday night.
The man, who was knocked unconscious, sustained an orbital fracture to his right eye among other injuries, according to the police report.
Police said the video surveillance matched with the man's account. The man said he started a conversation with one member of a group of people while waiting for an elevator as he was leaving the Cromwell Casino at Drais After Dark Club on South Las Vegas Boulevard at approximately 6:30 a.m. local time. When the elevator doors opened, the man started to walk toward the elevator along with the large party. But a man later identified as Kamara put his hand on the victim's chest to stop him.
The man then pushed Kamara's hand off his chest, and Kamara pushed back hard enough to cause the man to stumble back. Afterward the man recalled being hit and kicked by multiple people and losing consciousness.
According to the video surveillance, the man was speaking to a female before the events occurred as he described. After Kamara pushed the man, one of Kamara's associates punched him in the face. Then Kamara lunged toward the man and punched
