Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice surrenders to authorities after car crash
A victim told police they were assaulted and transported themselves to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
There's no word on what led to the alleged violence.
The alleged assault comes as Rice continues to deal with a separate legal matter involving a six-vehicle crash that injured four people.
Rice is charged with one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious injury and six counts of a collision involving injury in connection to the crash.
KSHB 41 has reached out to the Chiefs for comment on the assault as well as Rice's attorney. This story will be updated if a response is received.
