Former NFL running back Zac Stacy is on the run following a domestic violence incident at his Florida home over the weekend involving his ex-girlfriend.
The horrifying video shows Stacy attacking his ex-girlfriend, punching her before throwing her into a TV.
Oakland police said responding officers were at the scene “within two minutes” and Stacy had fled the scene.
“Officers arrived on scene within two minutes and were able to determine a domestic violence battery had taken place and that the suspect, Zackary Stacy, had fled the scene,” Oakland police said. “Officers continued to search for Stacy, and the case was forwarded to the investigations unit of the Oakland Police Department to establish probable cause to secure a warrant for Stacy’s arrest.”
On Thursday, the ex-girlfriend, Kristin Evans, took to Instagram and posted a video thanking everybody for reaching out while also helping police trying to locate him to get him off the street.

People around the NFL noticed the video and reacted to it online.
“For the record,” Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell said on Twitter, “any man that puts his hands on a woman is a coward! Short of defending yourself in a life or death situation, there is no excuse!”
Packers receiver Davante Adams was more blunt.
“I’m not retweeting the video but ZAC STACY NEEDS TO BE THROWN UNDER THE JAIL,” Adams said. “Any man that puts his hands on a woman is a coward. Can’t believe what I just saw.”
TMZ has reported that she has also now requested a restraining order against him. In court documents obtained by TMZ, Kristin claimed that Zac came over to see his son at 2pm on Saturday when he suddenly became violent.
“He punched me several times in the head. I begged him to stop because the baby was on the couch just a few feet from where he punched me,” she said in the restraining order documents.
“He then picked me up and threw me into my TV. The TV began to fall and he turned to make sure I wasn’t getting up. As I laid on the floor he began to yell at me, telling me I’m destructive. He then picked me up off the floor and off my feet and body slammed me into our son’s bouncy seat,” she continued.
“I fear for my life and my children’s lives,” she added before saying she was treated for a possible head wound at the hospital.
