Apr 27th, 2012 - Sports News

NEW YORK (AP) — Detroit Tigers Left fielder Delmon Young was arrested early this morning on a hate crime assault charge in New York City. Police say he attacked a group of men and yelled anti-Semitic epithets. The incident took place not far from Times Square and involved a group of four Chicago tourists, a panhandler wearing a yarmulke and a Star of David around his neck, and Young. It's not clear who he was yelling at but he got into a tussle with the Chicago group.
