Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s son arrested for allegedly stabbing neighbor
The son of NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar faces an assault with a deadly weapon charge after a stabbing incident in California.
Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call on Tuesday around 10 p.m. in San Clemente.
Adam Abdul-Jabbar, 28, was arrested without incident and the wounded neighbor transported himself to the hospital, according to the sheriff’s department. Authorities say the neighbor suffered multiple non-life threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing.
Abdul-Jabbar was booked on the assault with a deadly weapon charge Wednesday and released on $25,000 bond.
A representative for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar confirmed the arrest of his son and said a statement was forthcoming. CNN was unable to reach legal counsel for Adam Abdul-Jabbar.
