Sacramento Kings star Matt Barnes is wanted by NYPD for questioning after he allegedly choked a woman inside a nightclub early Monday morning.
According to TMZ Sports, law enforcement sources say cops received a 911 call to Avenue Nightclub after midnight, reporting a man assaulting two women and another man. They say things got physical when Barnes allegedly choked one woman during an argument, and when two other people tried to intervene, he punched both of them.
In the video after the incident, Matt and his teammate DeMarcus Cousins are talking about the fight.
Someone (I think Matt) is heard saying, “You saw me get in with two guys…”
Cousins says, “The ni–a was trying to choke Matt, I hit the sh-t out this ni–a!” while shaking his hand which seemed to be hurting.
Barnes fled the scene before cops showed up. The Kings were in town to play the Knicks on Sunday, they lost 106-98.
Cops are investigating and looking for Barnes.
