Tim DanielsApr 21, 2018

Former NBA power forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis was formally named as a suspect in connection with an April 8 altercation at a West Hollywood nightclub.

On Saturday, TMZ Sports reported police spoke with "several witnesses" who said Davis was the aggressor in an incident with another man, who spent a day on a ventilator after suffering "multiple broken bones and a broken tooth." The report notes the district attorney is seeking felony charges.

Witnesses told investigators the victim tried to confront Davis after being struck while the former NBA player was "driving erratically" in a parking lot, per TMZ Sports. The situation then allegedly turned violent as the man was thrown to the ground before Davis left the scene.
