32-year-old charged after incident at Liberty game
Objects thrown at a number of games this summer
A man has been arrested for throwing a sex toy during an WNBA game in New York, police said Thursday.
It is the latest development in a string of disturbances where similar toys were tossed at WNBA games across the country, resulting in at least three arrests.
Charles Burgess, 32, from Dayton, Ohio, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly throwing an object at the Dallas Wings v New York Liberty game on 5 August, New York police said. The object hit a 12-year-old girl, and Burgess was charged with two counts of assault. It wasn't immediately clear whether Burgess had an attorney.
