Former NBA player Ben Gordon was arrested early Friday morning and charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery causing bodily harm and battery making physical contact, according to Deanese Williams-Harris of the Chicago Tribune.

Police said they were called after security guards attempted to escort Gordon out of a McDonald's in Chicago following a disturbance. He allegedly punched one man in the face and threw another to the ground.

Gordon was arrested at the scene after 3 a.m. local time.
