CINCINNATI—Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has been accused of punching an 18-year-old in the face and breaking his car window with a beer bottle.
Court documents show Henry was charged Wednesday with misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging in the Monday incident in Cincinnati. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The 24-year-old player was in court last week after being ticketed for driving with expired Kentucky license plates.
He was suspended by the NFL for the first half of last season for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policy. He was arrested four times during a 14-month span.
A message seeking comment was left late Wednesday for Henry's attorney. His agent and a team spokesman said they are looking into the accusations.
