Former NBA point guard Ty Lawson created some real tension at the Madrid Barajas airport. The player approached the boarding gate without the mask and when he was asked to put it on, he attacked two employees of the flight company 'Iberia', punching one of them.

Spanish Civil Guard was forced to intervene and to escort the player away from the boarding gate. He was later helped to arrange another flight.

Lawson, according to Marca, was in Madrid airport for a stopover before reaching his final destination, Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.

Despite the incident, Lawson was not arrested by the local police. This is not the first time that Lawson ends up on the news for the wrong reasons. He was suspended from the Chinese league a few years ago after posting some offensive stories on his IG profile.

During the offseason, Lawson had signed a deal with Greek side Kolossos but he parted ways with the team just one month after the signing.
