The Instagram account that shared footage of a Ravens fan attacking two Commanders fans has been nuked.

The attack sparked national outrage on social media due to the pure brutality of it. A man in a Lamar Jackson jersey head hunted two small and defenseless men.

One was knocked out cold, and could have died if he fell and hit his head the wrong way. Baltimore police are now hunting for the attacker, but wouldn’t comment much past that to OutKick when pushed for specifics on the case.

For those of you who haven’t seen the video, you can watch it below. It’s sickening.

Man who shared Ravens attack video deletes Instagram account.

The video was first shared on an Instagram account with the handle @dooba__. It’s unclear if the person running the account was also the same person who filmed the video seemingly encouraging the attack to happen and then celebrated it afterwards.

As of Monday night, the account was still live, and even featured a line in the bio section about how people shouldn’t follow because of the video.

Well, that’s no longer the case. With the police investigation mounting, national scrutiny rising and unconfirmed rumors about whom the attacker might be, the account was deleted at some point late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

Below is a screenshot of what visitors now see when trying to see the page or watch the video.

Unfortunately for the person running the account, deleting the Instagram page the video came from is unlikely to save anyone from backlash and possible consequences.

How do we know this is true? Because two different tweets with the video have a combined total of more than 84 million views on X and it has been trending since Monday with no signs of slowing down.

Not only is it trendy, the national press is now also paying close attention to it. It’s a classic lesson from the eternity of the Internet. You can delete something after realizing what the consequences might be, but there is nothing you can do to remove the terrible video from the Internet.

And to be clear: This is a good thing. The guy in the Baltimore jersey wanted to make a scene and draw a lot of attention to himself. Good for him. He got exactly what he wanted, and I have a feeling he’s not going to like the way this story ends, regardless of whether the Instagram account is active or not.
