Former Knicks star Charles Oakley was escorted from his seats at Madison Square Garden in New York City and arrested after an altercation near team owner James Dolan.

Oakley shoved security guards before they pulled him away from his seat behind the baseline during the first quarter of the Knicks’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. Fans chanted ‘‘Oakley! Oakley!’’ in support of the popular power forward. The Clippers won, 119-115, rallying from 10 points down in the fourth quarter.

The 53-year-old Oakley played for the Knicks from 1988-98, helping them reach the NBA Finals, but has a poor relationship with the team because of his criticisms of Dolan, the Madison Square Garden chairman.

The altercation took place just a few rows behind the court during a stoppage in play, and players from both teams turned to watch. Oakley was handcuffed near an arena exit as he waited for police to arrive.
