New York (CNN) -- The 27-year-old son of tennis great John McEnroe and Academy Award-winning actress Tatum O'Neal was arrested on drug charges in Manhattan, police said.

Kevin McEnroe was arrested late Tuesday after what police believed was a drug transaction on a street corner in East Village, according to New York police Sgt. Jessica McRorie. He was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

McEnroe was carrying six clear plastic bags of what was believed to be cocaine, a Clorazepate anxiety pill, 20 Oxycodone pain-killing pills, 10 morphine pills and 10 orange pills which were not identified, McRorie said.

McEnroe was arraigned Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court. Prosecutors asked that bail be set at $5,000 but a judge released McEnroe on his own recognizance. He is to appear in court on October 16.
