The Detroit Tigers are in NYC for a three game series against the Yankees that starts tonight.
Tigers player, Delmon Young, however, will probably not be playing tonight. Young was arrested early this morning for allegedly assaulting a man outside of a hotel in midtown Manhattan, according to the New York Post.
Young was allegedly 'highly intoxicated' when he pushed a man to the ground. The baseball player was taken to the hospital to sober up before being taken to a police precinct.
UPDATE:
According to the Detroit Free Press (via Deadspin) Young is also facing hate crime related charges.
From the Detroit Free Press:
“Basically, there was an incident at the hotel (and) some anti-Semitic remarks,” said Detective Joseph Cavitol.
Young's charge is a misdemeanor.
