According to TMZ.com, Chiefs running Kareem Hunt has been accused by a Middleburg Heights woman of “pushing and shoving” her during an early morning dispute Feb. 10.

The incident occurred at the downtown Cleveland apartment The Metropolit­an at The 9. Cleveland.com reported Hunt has not been charged with a crime.

Cleveland.com identified Hunt’s accuser as Abigail Ottinger, 19, of Middleburg Heights. She said Hunt assaulted her just before 4 a.m. on Feb. 10. Cleveland.com also reported there are two police reports — one that lists Hunt as a suspect, and another with Ottinger as the suspect.

Another woman with the Hunt party — according to Cleveland. com — said Ottinger assaulted her.

According to the report, the Willoughby South graduate and his friends spent the night of Feb. 9 in a party bus traveling around downtown Cleveland. Included in the party was Ottinger, according to the report.

According to the report, the two women went back to The 9 — where Hunt has an apartment — but were asked to leave when Hunt and his friends found out they were 19 years old. Ottinger reportedly became upset when asked to leave. A friend of Hunt reportedly said Ottinger called him and Hunt racial slurs.

Later, Hunt reportedly came out of his apartment, which is when Ottinger said he “shoved and pushed her.”
