SAN FRANCISCO

The San Francisco district attorney's office today filed a felony assault charge against University of California at Berkeley's football quarterback Steve Levy for his alleged assault at a North Beach bar early Sunday.  He will be in court either Thursday or Friday, according to spokeswoman Bilen Mesfin.

Levy, 22, was arrested after he allegedly threw a pint glass at a bouncer at Kells Irish Restaurant and Pub around 1:23 a.m., following the bouncer's request for him to leave the bar, according to Sgt. Neville Gittens.  Citizens followed Levy on foot after he left the bar, located at 530 Jackson St., and directed police to Levy, who arrested him and took him to jail.  Jeff Tedford, the football team's coach, said Levy will sit out the team's practices until the story becomes clearer. The starting team for the upcoming season has not been announced yet.
