A source connected to the NFL investigation tells TMZ … the league made multiple attempts to obtain the video, but was turned away. We’re told the league contacted the hotel, and was told it is corporate policy to only turn surveillance video over to law enforcement.
We contacted the Metropolitan at The 9 and COO Tony Quintal says, “We realize that this is an ongoing investigation and cannot share any additional information at this time.”
We’re told the NFL also contacted Cleveland PD attempting to get the video, but was also denied. The source says the league’s investigation included reaching out to the alleged victim, who did not respond.
Here’s what we reported earlier …
*When it comes to drama, if ain’t one thing it’s another. And so, as far as today is concerned, may we present Kansas City Chiefs star running back Kareem Hunt who is seen in a video obtained by TMZ being very hands on, shall we say, with a woman in a Cleveland hotel. The incident is said to have gone down last February (2018).
In the interim, Hunt has not missed a single game this season despite the incident happening MONTHS before the 2018 NFL season kicked off … and team CEO Clark Hunt publicly stated in August he doubted Hunt would be suspended.
In the video, Hunt is seen arguing with a 19-year-old woman outside of his room at The Metropolitan at the 9 hotel at 3:22 AM on February 10, 2018.
Hunt turns a corner and confronts the woman, shoving her hard. The woman strikes him back in the face … and that’s when Hunt goes berserk.
As friends try to hold him back, the 2017 Pro Bowler — who led the league in rushing yards — explodes and knocks one of his friends into the woman … who both go flying into a wall.
Both Kareem’s male friend and the woman appear dazed — but Kareem makes his way over to the female and kicks her while she’s crouching on the ground … knocking her over.
Here’s the interesting part. Cops showed up, but no arrests were made. According to police reports, obtained by TMZ Sports, surveillance video from the hotel was obtained by law enforcement. TMZ says that video is part of the evidence that was submitted to prosecutors.

But, the bottom line is that the cops did not arrest Hunt and no charges were filed because officers say they were unable to determine if a crime had been committed.
At the time of the incident, the woman told police the whole thing started because Kareem kicked her out of his room after she refused to hook up with one of the men in Kareem’s entourage.

However, Kareem Hunt’s friends told police the woman had gone crazy when asked to leave and called Kareem the n-word … and then struck one of Kareem’s female friends once things turned physical.
Bottom line: Somebody’s lying, but the video isn’t. We’ll see where this goes. . If you want more info, click over to TMZ.
