LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Troubled former NBA star Glen "Big Baby" Davis has been indicted on an assault charge for an altercation that occurred in West Hollywood in April.

The 32-year-old Davis, who lives in Tarzana, will be arraigned Thursday on a single felony count of assault causing great bodily injury, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office reports.

Davis is accused of throwing a man into a wall April 8 outside a nightclub in the 600 block of Robertson Boulevard, prosecutors said. The injuries sent the victim to the hospital, TMZ reports. The exact circumstances that prompted the attack were not disclosed.
