NEW YORK — Former Chicago Bulls player Ben Gordon violated an order of protection already in place when he was arrested on charges of punching his 10-year-old son in the face at LaGuardia Airport, the New York Daily News has learned.

Gordon, 39, was charged with violating his son’s order of protection as well as assault and resisting arrest for the ugly clash at LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B, law enforcement sources said.

The 6-foot-3 former shooting guard and his son were at gate 19 and about to hop on an American Airlines flight to Chicago when he allegedly punched his child with a closed fist in front of a crowd of people about 7:45 p.m. Monday.
