Bateman, 26, was arrested in June on charges including family violence battery, reckless conduct and first-degree criminal damage to property, according to Georgia court records obtained by ESPN.
Now, a police report obtained by TMZ is providing additional details about what allegedly happened.
The woman told police that she and Bateman argued inside their Georgia home during the early morning hours of June 3. She alleged that Bateman pushed her into a corner wall, leaving contusions on her face.
She eventually left the home with their 3-month-old daughter. According to the police report, the two later agreed to meet after Bateman allegedly called and texted her several times.
Police say Bateman arrived in an SUV and attempted to puncture a tire on her Mercedes-Benz with a screwdriver. He then allegedly used the tool to repeatedly strike the windshield and driver's-side window while the baby was inside the vehicle.
Shattered glass reportedly caused cuts to the woman's face. She and the child were taken to a hospital, according to TMZ.
Bateman's attorney, Jordan Siev, said the situation has been "taken completely out of context for sensational reasons" and that the facts will emerge through the court process.
The Ravens said they are aware of the case, have been communicating with Bateman and notified the NFL.
The league is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy. Bateman, a first-round pick in 2021, signed a three-year, $36.75 million extension with Baltimore last year.
