Nba, Ben Gordon arrested: he beats his son and sends him to the hospital

Ben Gordon, a former Chicago Bulls star, was arrested at New York’s LaGuardia Airport after hitting his 10-year-old son who was beaten in hospital. Airport police stopped him on Monday evening as his son was transported to the Long Island Jewish Hospital accompanied by his aunt, the New York Daily News reported. It appears that Gordon is also accused of resisting the public official for opposing the arrest.
