British former NBA star Ben Gordon has reportedly been arrested at LaGuardia airport on Monday for allegedly hitting his 10-year-old son.
Gordon, who spent five years with the Chicago Bulls before going to play for three more franchises, was reportedly prevented from boarding his flight by police before being arrested at around 8.45pm. Sources told the New York Post that Gordon, 39, was allegedly handcuffed by Port Authority officers before he could fly to Chicago.
His son was then reportedly taken away by an aunt and taken to Long Island Jewish Children’s Hospital for evaluation. The former shooting guard, who moved from London to New York as a youngster, was allegedly being processed at the Port Authority police station with charges against him pending.
