The man who allegedly threw a sex toy toward the court during a New York Liberty game, striking a 12-year-old girl, has been arrested, police said.

New York police arrested Charles Burgess, 32, of Dayton, Ohio, on Wednesday. Burgess was charged with two counts of assault in connection with the incident.

It was not immediately clear whether Burgess has been booked into jail or if he has legal representation.

The NYPD had been searching for the culprit since Aug. 5, when someone threw a sex toy onto the court of the New York Liberty–Dallas Wings game at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, hitting a girl in the leg.
