Warning: The video above contains violent imagery that may be unsuitable for certain audiences.

An arrest warrant is out for John Callis, 24, who police say brutally assaulted two 23-year-old men on Sunday after the Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens football game in Maryland.

Video of a man wearing a Baltimore Ravens jersey beating two men went viral, and police identified the person as Callis. He is wanted on charges of first-degree aggravated assault and three counts of second-degree assault.

Callis’ lawyer, Patrick Seidel, told WTOP in a statement, “We are aware of the criminal allegations and have been in direct communication with the State’s Attorney’s Office. Mr. Callis will be voluntarily surrendering himself.”

The insurance company Maury Donnelly & Parr Inc., where Callis reportedly worked, posted a statement on X, saying, “MDP has a zero-tolerance policy for violence and aggressive behavior. This individual is no longer employed with our firm.”
