VIDEO: Footage shows arrest of Sefolosha, Antic
Video has emerged of the Wednesday morning confrontation between Atlanta Hawks swingman Thabo Sefolosha and New York City police officers.
TMZ obtained footage of the incident, which contains explicit French language.
Hawks teammate Pero Antic can be seen sitting on the curb in handcuffs.
The Hawks announced on Thursday that Sefolosha suffered season-ending leg injuries, although it's not known for certain at what point during Sefolosha's arrest or time in custody he sustained the injuries.
Sefolosha and Antic were both charged with obstruction and disorderly conduct Wednesday after they allegedly refused to clear the area while officers were trying to establish a crime scene in the aftermath of the Chris Copeland stabbing.
Sefolosha was also charged with resisting arrest. He and Antic released statements on Wednesday evening saying they will contest the charges.
