The footage appears to show the 29-year-old in heated discussions with another man during the early hours of Sunday morning.
At one point in the short video Ruddy appears to be held back as he moves towards the other man.
No physical contact is seen between the pair in the video.
The club today declined to comment, other than to confirm an internal investigation is underway.
Meanwhile, Norfolk Police said they have not had any reports of any assaults in Tombland over the weekend.
In recent weeks the goalkeeper has lost his first team spot at Norwich, with Declan Rudd putting in commendable performances in matches against Everton and Watford.
