Los Angeles Lakers star Nick Young was involved in an altercation Saturday night at Dave & Buster’s restaurant in the Westchester neighborhood of L.A.

Cell phone video posted by TMZ shows an agitated Young yelling, “It’s everywhere we go, bro. It’s everywhere we go.” As a group of men try to calm him down, Young shouts to a passerby, “Shut up, bitch.”

No one was arrested, but the dispute did trigger a large contingent of police officers to swarm the restaurant.

“We responded to a disturbance,” LAPD spokesman Mike Lopez told TheWrap Sunday. “Upon our arrival, officers requested additional units to respond because of the large group.”

That additional response included an LAPD helicopter, which hovered overhead until tensions eased. Officers eventually asked the group to disperse and everyone complied.

In addition to being a star NBA player, Young is frequently seen attending red-carpet events with fiancée Iggy Azalea.
