The incident occurred during a stoppage in play as Kristaps Porzingis was shooting free throws in the first quarter against the visiting Clippers. A police source told ESPN that Oakley had purchased his own seat a few rows behind Dolan and was making comments at the Knicks owner, who eventually had security escort him from the arena.

Knicks president Phil Jackson came out to try to calm down Oakley, who was yelling about Dolan and telling security he wasn't going to move as they handcuffed him outside the tunnel leading to the court. At one point Oakley was on the ground surrounded by police and Garden security.

The NYPD said Oakley, 54, punched three male MSG employees, all of whom suffered minor injuries and refused medical attention at the scene, as he was being escorted out. He was charged with three counts of assault, all third degree, and one count of criminal trespass, a third-degree misdemeanor.
