A Yonkers man was reportedly slashed in the face at a local basketball event that was attended by Bow Wow yesterday (August 20).

According to The Journal News, evening basketball games are held at Yonkers’ Nepperhan Community Center annually and Bow Wow attended the event to watch one of the games on Wednesday.

Bow Wow's presence at the event drew large crowds of young women to where the rapper was seated and when he left the event, a 20-year-old man was slashed in the face.

“[It] turned into mayhem after he left,” said Jim Bostic, the executive director of the Nepperhan Community Center.

The man, who was not identified, was attacked near the center's parking lot.  He was rushed to hospital for treatment but refused to co-operate with police when he was released.

Bostic said that he was shocked that the attack occurred despite police presence and that the man refused to co-operate.

“That's how bold and brazen the culture has become,” Bostic said.  “Nobody talks, nobody sees anything."

Bostic revealed gang member susually attuned the event but no acts of violence have occurred in the past.  He said he had police stationed at the event as a security precaution.
