HEARTSTOPPING footage captured the moment NFL star Tyreek Hill leans his head over the balcony of his 35th-floor condo with his newborn daughter in his arms.

Video obtained by The U.S. Sun showed the nail-biting moment that Hill, wearing a white tank top and athletic shorts, held his daughter with one arm and appeared to look over the edge of his balcony.
The footage also captured Keeta, wearing a similar outfit, standing on the balcony with Hill and similarly leaning briefly over the ledge.
Sunny Isles Beach police responded to Hill's condo in the Porsche Design Tower at around 2 pm after Alesia Vacarro, the NFL star's mother-in-law, reported an "assault in progress."
Vacarro told police that Hill became enraged after an argument with his wife and was reportedly acting "very aggressive and impulsive" as she feared for her granddaughter's safety.

She also told officers she had been living with the couple since her granddaughter's birth last November and witnessed Hill slam a laptop on the floor, according to an incident report obtained by ABC affiliate WPLG.
Hill then grabbed his daughter from his wife and began walking toward the balcony, Vacarro told police.
Sunny Isles Beach police officers spoke with Keeta, who confirmed that she and Hill had been arguing before he "became angry and began throwing objects around."
Keeta told authorities she and Hill had been attending couples therapy, but it "was not working out."

She described to police that Hill gets "upset whenever she gives her opinion on anything they discuss."
The Miami Dolphins' star running back told officers that he had just returned home from training and was discussing therapy with his wife when the argument escalated.
Hill reportedly became irritated after Keeta told him he "wasn't involved enough with his child" and "without malice" grabbed his daughter from her.
He admitted to police that he grabbed his daughter, telling officers, "I have the same rights as a father as her as a mother, and I can take my baby whenever I want."
Keeta disclosed to authorities that she is in the "process of filing for a divorce."
Despite the argument, the incident never turned physical, according to the report.
Officers reported observing a bruise on Keeta's upper chest, which she said she suffered unintentionally when Hill grabbed his daughter from her, according to police records.
Sunny Isles Beach Police officers reported the newborn was in good health and made no arrests.
OFFSEASON MOVE?
The incident comes as rumors continue to swirl about a potential split between Hill and the Dolphins.
Hill has been at the center of trade speculation after the comments he made after his third season with the team ended in not reaching the playoffs with an 8-9 record.
The five-time All-Pro wide receiver again sparked trade speculation on March 30 when he reposted a message on X, which said, "Fins Nation: Would you be open to trading Tyreek Hill," along with a smiling emoji.
Hill then posted a peace sign emoji to post from Jason Fitzgerald, the founder of the salary cap website Overthecap.com, that claimed that he is "probably" the biggest draft night player trade candidate.
After the Dolphins' lackluster 2024 regular-season came to an end with a 32-30 defeat to the New York Jets, Hill was blunt to reporters when he made it seem his tenure in Miami was over.
"This is the first time I haven't been in the playoffs, man, so I mean, for me, I just gotta do what's best for me and my family, dog," Hill said at the time.
"If that's here, if that's wherever the case may be. I'm finna open that door for myself, dog. I’m opening the door.

"I’m out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day I got to do what’s best for my career.
"I’m too much of a competitor to be just out there."
