Detroit Tigers slugger Delmon Young went on a drunken, anti-Semetic rampage outside a posh Manhattan hotel early this morning — shouting “F-ing Jews” to a group of tourists before throwing one to the ground, sources said.
The $6.5 million outfielder was so drunk that he had to be hospitalized after his arrest.
Young directed his rage on four men who were in town for a bachelor party when he saw them talking to a yarmulke-and-Star of David-wearing pan handler outside the Hilton Hotel on Sixth Avenue at 2:40 a.m.
He allegedly shouted “You bunch of F-ing Jews!” and pushed the first member of the group that he could get his hands on — Jason Shank, a business man from Schaumburg Ill, sources said.
The 6-3, 240-pound Young allegedly shoved the much smaller Shank, 32, into a hotel wall, and then tackled him before the scuffle was broken up, sources said.
Shank and his pals quickly escaped into the Hilton. Young gave chase but was stopped by a guard, who made him prove he was a hotel guest, sources said.
Someone in Shanks group called 911 — and the Tigers terror was arrested on charges of aggravated harassment in the second degree, a misdemeanor with a hate-crime element.
