NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Former Knick Charles Oakley appeared in court Tuesday following an altercation that briefly got him banned from Madison Square Garden.

Oakley was eager to share his side of the story after leaving Manhattan Criminal Court, CBS2’s Magdalena Doris reported. He said every time that he’s at the Garden an issue arises and that was what happened when the scuffle happened just four minutes into a game.

The incident between Oakley and security at the Garden was captured on camera and aired on TV over and over. Oakley is now facing three counts of assault.
