The WNBA have confirmed that a fan has been arrested for throwing a sex toy on the court during an Atlanta Dream game earlier this week.
During the fourth quarter of Dream’s clash against Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday, the bright green object was chucked from the stands onto the court.
The game was brought to an abrupt halt as players, coaches, fans and officials were left bemused by the bizarre incident.
The shocking act appeared to spark a trend after a similar incident occurred on Friday night during the Valkyries game against the Chicago Sky.
In an attempt to put an end to the inappropriate acts, the WNBA have now confirmed that an individual has been arrested for throwing the provocative projectile.
In a statement, the WNBA said: ‘The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans.
