Nets fan carried out of Garden after allegedly hitting people with prosthetic leg

Wednesday, December 3, 2014
NEW YORK (WABC) -- It was a dramatic night at Madison Square Garden Tuesday, and not just because the Knicks were playing the Nets.

A well-known Nets fan was escorted from the game after he allegedly hit people with his prosthetic leg.

Jeffery Vanchiro was carried out of the Garden by security guards after multiple fans complained.

Vanchiro was reportedly warned several times before he was ejected.

Cell phone video shows Vanchiro being carried out with his prosthetic leg missing. It was later returned to him.


Vanchiro was also banned for life from the Garden.
