Virginia police were called to an LA Fitness on Monday after a man took issue with being fouled during a pickup basketball game.

According to Twitter user @_togs, the man standing to the right of the officer in the photo below called police after getting knocked down by an "aggressive screen." The man wearing the arm sleeves was the screener.

Thomas Mulabah, 28, told Deadspin's Giri Nathan that he saw the lead-up to the screen while he was waiting for the next pickup game.

"He had pushed him in the back before so he got hit with a hard screen at the top of the key and flew to the ground, got up and walked out the door ... He went to the front desk and called the (cops) and waited for them," Mulabah said. "Then walked back in and sat down."

The man who called the police is a regular at the LA Fitness, located in Dulles, Va., and has played basketball there many times, FOX 5 reports. Gym management confirmed the incident took place and that police were called.

"When the cops came, he was like, 'Why are you wasting my time?'" a source told FOX 5.
