The 39-year-old former shooting guard, Ben Gordon, was waiting for a flight to Chicago when he was stopped from getting onto the plane and arrested around 8:45 p.m., according to the Post.
Gordon’s son was taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital, escorted by his aunt, to be treated.
Port Authority police officers took Gordon to the LaGuardia station house and charged him with resisting arrest, among other charges, sources said.
Two officers were injured while attempting to handcuff Gordon, though further details about the injuries were not immediately clear.
1010 WINS has reached out to the Port Authority Police Department for comment.
Gordon, who was raised in Mount Vernon, New York, has a prior history of arrests. In 2017, he was pulled over in Harlem for driving with fake Florida license plates. Another time, the basketball player had to undergo psychiatric treatment after a woman called police on him for locking them both inside of his Mount Vernon business.
