Chad Washington
Chad Washington, 19, was arrested yesterday over the incident early Sunday morning.
He grabbed a 19-year-old Asian man on West 113th Street and made ethnic slurs while threatening to pummel him, police said.
Washington, who is black, is a 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive lineman.
In an op-ed piece he once wrote for the Columbia Spectator, he said he had a 3.0 grade-point average.
Washington, who made 15 tackles last year, was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime.
