A new video of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking out his then-fiancée and current wife, Janay Palmer, in an Atlantic City casino elevator has been released by TMZ early Monday.

In the video taken Feb. 15, you can see the pair enter the elevator. The two appear to hit each other, then Rice hits Palmer in the face, causing her to loose her balance and hit her head on a rail on her way to the floor.

When the elevator stops, Rice drags Palmer, who was apparently knocked unconscious, off of the elevator, grabbing her sandals on his way.

Rice is currently serving a two-game suspension for the incident.

After receiving much backlash for the weak penalty, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell admitted he did “not get it right” and redefined harsher penalties for players or league personnel involved in domestic disputes or sexual assault charges.

As of Aug. 28, Goodell immediately implemented a six-game suspension for NFL personnel who are charged with domestic violence or sexual assault and banishment from the league after a second offense.
