Delmon Young Arrested, Charged With Assault [UPDATE: Hate Crime!]
The Tigers are in New York ahead of a weekend series with the Yankees, and it sounds like it didn't take Delmon Young much time to find some trouble. According to the , Young was arrested and charged with third-degree assault after shoving a man to the ground early this morning.
The Post's source says Young was "highly intoxicated" and was taken to the hospital to get sober before being taken to a police station. He remains in custody, so I probably wouldn't pencil him in tonight's lineup.
Update, 10:20 a.m.: The that Young will be charged with aggravated harassment hate crime. Says an NYPD detective, "Basically, there was an incident at the hotel (and) some anti-Semitic remarks."
Update, 12:20 a.m.: The Post has more details:
A panhandler wearing a yamulke approached a group of people to ask for some change - and that's when Young, who was nearby, started shouting, "F—king Jews! F—king Jews!"
That's when another man and a group of his friends got into a confrontation with Young at about 2:40 a.m. that quickly turned physical along Sixth Avenue, law enforcement sources said.
Young allegedly scratched a 32-year-old during the fracas on East 54th Street, pushing him to the ground in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel.
