A Baltimore man accused of attacking opposing fans after the Ravens’ game against the Washington Commanders in the city on Oct. 13 was arrested Monday, Baltimore police said.
An arrest warrant was issued for John Callis, 24, after a cellphone video of an attack on two men in Commanders jerseys went viral. The warrant included charges of aggravated assault in the first degree and assault in the second degree, police said.
It was not clear whether Callis was released after his arrest on Monday. An attorney for Callis did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday evening.
The victims seen on video were identified only as 23-year-old men.
Police allege Callis was the man in the video wearing a Ravens jersey and walking around the Federal Hill neighborhood, known for its nightlife, sports bars and historic architecture, a few blocks from M&T Bank Stadium, where the Ravens just played the Commanders had defeated 30. 23.
In the video, the man in the Ravens jersey kicks one of the two men in Commanders jerseys facing him as he approaches. The Commanders fan falls with a punch while the other lunges at the Ravens fan, only to be thrown into a brick wall and ultimately felled.
The man in the Ravens jersey raises his arm and high-fives someone off camera while shouting, “I’m not losing!”
In court documents obtained by Baltimore NBC affiliate WBAL, police say the suspect attacked two of the three victims twice after they returned to the area to retrieve a cell phone believed to have been lost during the initial altercation .
The video appeared to show only one of the two alleged encounters.
