Security escorted a fan from Madison Square Garden on Monday after the fan hurled obscenities towards Knick forward Jared Jeffries, the New York Post is reporting.

Three reporters were waiting to speak with Giants receiver Plaxico Burress in the Garden rotunda at halftime when they saw the fan being ejected.

According to The Post, the fan complained to security that he only shouted to "get Jeffries out of the game."

Security refused to let the reporters talk to the fan as he was being escorted out of the building and restrained two of them, ripping the press credential off this reporter. The fan shouted out his phone number to the reporters. On the phone, the fan identified himself as Ozzie Jones from Brooklyn and claimed he was thrown out for using the word "ass."

A Garden spokesman later claimed the fan had a ticket for Section 342 and had snuck down to Section 27 to shout the obscenity.
