TMZ confirms that the AC PD responded to a domestic dispute at the swanky Revel Casino at 2:51 a.m. Law enforcement sources say, "After reviewing surveillance footage it appeared both parties were involved in a physical altercation. The complaint summons indicates that both Rich and Palmer struck each other with their hands."

Neither individual was injured, and both refused medical treatment.

Still, Rice and Palmer were promptly escorted to a nearby police station where they were ultimatelu booked for Simple Assault-Domestic Violence. Both were later released on a summons to appear in court at a later time.

A rep for the popular NFL running back issued this statement to the infamous gossip webloid:

"We are aware of the Friday night situation with Ray Rice and his fiancee. We have spoken with Ray, and know that they returned home together after being detained."

Meanwhile, Rice's attorney recently told the Baltimore Sun that the fight was simply a "very minor physical altercation."

The lawyer hired to represent Rice in the case (Michael Diamondstein) also stated, "We haven't seen any charging documents yet. There was an argument that included Ray. I can't give any specifics because we haven't seen the document yet. Once we're able to go through the evidence, it should wind up to be little more than a misunderstanding."

Rice and Palmer have been dating since 2008 - they have one daughter together.

Now, the infamous gossip webloid TMZ recently obtained NEW footage of the elevator altercation - and it's quite shocking.

In the clip, Rice violently punches Palmer - and she falls to the ground, knocked totally unconscious.

The two are obviously arguing before entering the elevator. Rice first hits Palmer, and when she physically reacts back, he throws the crazy blow. That's when she stumbles to the floor and stops moving. What follows afterwards is simply horrific.

Check out the extended security clip here:

According to an employee eyewitness, NFL officials viewed the footage before imposing a two-game suspension with the Baltimore Ravens.

Rice married Palmer just one month after the attack.

The NFL has yet to respond to TMZ's request for comment.
