WASHINGTON — Bowie State University has fired its assistant football coach

after a video captured him body-slamming a student.

Former NFL defensive end Charles Grant was a volunteer coach at the school. In

the video, obtained and posted by

TMZ, Grant appears to slam a student to the ground and then into the

bleachers.

well.

Bowie State officials released a brief statement saying the school has zero

tolerance of behavior that violates their core values and jeopardizes

student-athletes.

yet been released, according to TMZ.

“We’ve talked to the victim. We’ve interviewed witnesses. We have had several

conversations with Mr. Grant over the phone, but nothing formal,” a Bowie

State University police spokesperson said to TMZ. Police say they are

conducting an investigation.
