Callis, 24, was indicted on Friday after his now-infamous attack of multiple fans that was caught on camera and swiftly went viral, leading to a host of charges after he surrendered to police.

The Ravens topped the Commanders 30-23 in a hotly contested game on Sunday, Oct. 13, but it was happened after the game that made more headlines when Callis, sporting a Lamar Jackson jersey, targeted some fans of the opposing team in an unprovoked attack.

An Instagram video posted by a user that was picked up by multiple outlets went viral showing Callis accosting the opposing fans outside an area bar.

The person shooting the video can be seen shouting "DO WE HAVE A STRAGGLER?" as the pair approached two people wearing Commanders' jerseys and goading them.

In the video, which has now been viewed millions of times, Callis can be seen kicking one person before throwing a right hook that knocked him out, then tossing another to the ground.

Much to the crowd's delight, the man then flexed while shouting "I don't lose." 

The cameraman and Callis then high-fived.

"The video evidence in this case speaks for itself," Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates stated. "Violent acts like these are unacceptable and have no place in our city." 

Now, Callis has been indicted on charges that include multiple assault offenses.

"The incident is a shameful depiction of our fans and does not represent the camaraderie and sportsmanship with typically display as Baltimoreans," Bates added. "We are proceeding with this case with the seriousness it deserves.

"Repeat offenders cannot create chaos and violence unchecked on our streets."
