Sixth Guilford Player Charged With Assault

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A sixth Guilford College football player was charged yesterday with assaulting a Palestinian Arab student during a fight at the school, court officials said. Micah Rushing, 21, of Albemarle, was released on a promise to appear, the Guilford County Magistrate's Office said.

The charges stem from allegations by three Palestinian Arab students who said they were taunted with racial slurs and called "terrorists" while several members of the school's football team beat them on January 20, according to court documents.
