Yelling, "you don't know who I am, I'm Allen Iverson's uncle!"
Gregory Iverson was booted from a New Jersey Transit train at 30th Street Station early yesterday, an Amtrak source said.
People on the train tried to get Iverson to quiet down, but to no avail, the source said.
Amtrak police eventually gave him a citation for disorderly conduct.
The uncle of the Sixers star was on a train that was to leave Philadelphia for Atlantic City at 12:50 a.m., said Amtrak spokesman Cliff Black.
But before the train pulled out of the station, the crew called Amtrak police to report that a passenger was being disruptive.
Iverson was given the citation and must appear before a U.S. Magistrate Judge on Jan. 31.
Greg Iverson also had a run-in with the law in 2003, when he had a minor car accident while driving A.I.'s 1999 Mercedes-Benz sedan.
Police said Gregory Iverson hit a 2002 Saab as he was exiting the the Schuylkill Expressway and just drove away.
There was minor damage to the Saab and no injuries.
Iverson was given a citation for failing to give information and render aid.
He got a $110 fine.
