New York police on Monday were looking for a man who threw a sex toy during a WNBA game, striking a girl in attendance, officials said.
The NYPD on Friday released a photo and a short video clip of a man wearing a “Beavis and Butt-Head” T-shirt and an Ohio State cap at the New York Liberty-Dallas Wings game last week at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Police said that, during Tuesday’s game, “an unidentified individual threw an object which struck a 12-year-old female victim in the right leg.”
The search continued Monday, and a Liberty rep said the team is cooperating with police.
“All we can share right now is that there is an ongoing investigation and that we are cooperating with law enforcement,” a team spokesperson said.
The incident in Brooklyn was the most recent example of someone throwing sex toys toward WNBA players over the past two weeks.
The episodes started July 29 when a sex toy landed on the floor of a Golden State Valkyries game against the Atlanta Dream in College Park, Georgia.
There have been similar incidents in Phoenix, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Two men have been arrested in connection with the incidents in Georgia and Phoenix.
“The safety of everyone in our arenas remains a top priority,” a WNBA spokesperson said.
