(CNN) The New Orleans Police Department has obtained an arrest warrant for Cleveland Browns star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on a charge of misdemeanor simple battery, it said Thursday.

The warrant stems from a Monday incident at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the 27-year-old was on hand to see his alma mater, LSU, win college football's national championship over the Clemson Tigers.

Police provided no further information, but video from inside the locker room shows Beckham apparently striking a man in uniform in the buttocks area during postgame celebrations. It is not clear whether the man is a security guard or law enforcement officer.

The Superdome filed the complaint with the NOPD on Tuesday, police spokesman Gary Scheets said. Asked whether the arrest warrant was related to the video, which was widely shared on social media, Scheets said, "Judge for yourself."

Superdome spokesman Alan Freeman declined to provide details, issuing a statement on behalf of venue management company ASM Global: "We are aware of the video from the LSU locker room and are conducting an internal investigation and will have no further comment until that investigation is complete."
