The BL Lacertae OJ 287 is a supermassive black holes binary (SMBHB) system with complex physics of its irregular flares. During 2016 October -2017 April period, a surprising outburst in X-ray, UV and optical bands was detected, while no variability was seen in γ-ray light curve. During the outburst, the X-ray light curves are dominated with the soft X-rays, whose peak in the luminosity ∼ 10 46 erg s −1 , that is more than ten times higher than the mean level before the outburst and a "softer-when-brighter" phenomenon was exhibited. These above phenomena have been reported by some previous works. The hardness ratio shows negligible evolution with flare time and soft X-ray luminosity. Critically, the luminosity of the soft X-rays decayed following a power-law of t −5/3 which occurs in most tidal disruption events (TDEs), and similar trend can be seen in UV and optical bands during the soft X-ray declining period. Helium and oxygen narrow emission lines are strengthen prominently in the optical spectra of post-outburst epochs, that could be attributed to the surrounding gas appeared due to TDE. We discuss three possible origins of the event, including the jet's precession, the post-effect of the black hole-disc impaction and TDE. Our results show that the TDE is the more likely scenario to explain the outburst.
