Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis was arrested in New York on Tuesday, police told USA TODAY Sports.
Det. Sophia Mason of the New York Police Department confirmed Davis was arrested on charges of assault and criminal mischief following an argument with a 20-year-old woman who described herself to authorities as Davis' girlfriend.
Police responded to an incident around 8:30 p.m., Mason said. The woman visited Davis at The Beekman, a luxurious lower Manhattan hotel. A verbal dispute preceded Davis allegedly striking the woman in the face and causing a "substantial amount of pain" to an eye. Davis also allegedly grabbed the woman's phone and broke the screen.
