Jeffrey Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting staff at an Arizona hospital, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.
Scottsdale Police Department told FOX that Jordan, 32, was transported to hospital on Friday after he had slipped and hit his head at a local cocktail bar.
According to FOX 10, police say that while being treated for his injury, Jordan then assaulted a healthcare worker.
FOX 10 Phoenix reports that he was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault, but has since been released from the Scottsdale City jail.
KNXV-TV reports that Jordan has not been charged with a crime. It added that the case will now be forwarded to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for a review and charging decision.
The oldest of Michael Jordan's five children, Jeffrey never made it to the NBA like his father, but did enjoy a respectful college basketball career.
The 32-year-old played for the University of Illinois between 2007 and 2010, helping his school to a second-place finish in the Big Ten in 2008/09 season, before spending two seasons at the University of Central Florida.
He currently heads Jordan Brand's digital innovation department.
