Green faces additional charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said. It was unclear if Green had an attorney.
Boyd was shot in the early morning hours of November 16 outside a restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, and the shooter fled. The shooting occurred after Boyd, his friend and two other Jets players, Irvin Charles and Jamien Sherwood, left the scene, police said.

Other men approached the group and made fun of their clothing, police told reporters at a news conference. A fight eventually broke out between the men and Boyd was shot, police said. Boyd and his friends were unarmed.
The NFL player was rushed to a hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He spent days in the hospital before apparently being discharged and returning to deal with more complicated health issues stemming from the injury.
