New York police search for suspect accused of hitting 12-year-old girl with adult toy at WNBA game

According to the post, the man "threw an object which struck a 12-year-old female victim in the right leg."

"All we can share right now is that there is an ongoing investigation and that we are cooperating with law enforcement," the spokesperson said. 

The WNBA has taken an active approach to obscene behavior at its games, threatening legal action and prosecution, a league spokesperson recently told Fox News Digital in a statement on Friday.

"The safety of everyone in our arenas remains a top priority. We are working closely with local and federal law enforcement to pursue all appropriate actions - including arrest and prosecution with felony charges where applicable - against anyone engaged in this conduct or otherwise involved in sponsoring this reckless and unacceptable behavior," the statement read. 

An anonymous person connected to a crypto group has claimed responsibility for at least some of the incidents, but the WNBA did not respond to requests for comment regarding the validity of those claims.
