Matt Barnes is reportedly being investigated by police over an incident that took place at the 49ers game over the weekend. According to TMZ, Barnes got into it with the ex-husband of his fiancée. David Patterson Jr. is the man in question, and overall, the incident was quite heated.

In the video clip below, you can see Barnes spitting on the man. Additionally, the two exchanged words and even wrestled a bit before being broken up. Subsequently, both of these men went to their seats and reportedly enjoyed the game.

As reported by TMZ, Barnes is now seeking a temporary restraining order against Patterson Jr. Barnes is adamant that Patterson is the aggressor in this instance, and that he has levied various threats against him. Patterson even allegedly threatened to shoot Barnes.

"I did not want the altercation to physically escalate further, and out of frustration with him seeking me out and his unrelenting repeated harassment I spit in his direction in disgust," Barnes said. Barnes went on to claim that Patterson has been harassing him online for months. Needless to say, things were coming to a boiling point, and this weekend was an example of that.

Given the fact that there is a legal investigation into the matter, more facts will be presented soon.
