Houston Rocket forward Charles Barkley was arrested early Sunday in Orlando, Fla., for hurling a bar patron through a plate-glass window after the man tossed a glass of ice at him.
Police said Barkley told the victim as he lay bleeding on the ground: “You got what you deserve. You don’t respect me. I hope you’re hurt.”
Jorge Lugo, 20, was treated at a hospital for a minor laceration to his upper right arm.
Barkley was charged with aggravated battery and resisting arrest without violence, police said. He was jailed for five hours before being released on $6,000 bond.
“I’m not going to worry about the charges,” he said. “Whatever happens, I’ll deal with it.”
