Former NHL player Alex Galchenyuk threatens to kill officers and families, police video shows

Former NHL player Alex Galchenyuk threatened to kill police officers and their families while repeatedly using a racial slur, police footage shows.

Police footage obtained by Fox News Digital of former NHL player Alex Galchenyuk in the back of a cop car shows he repeatedly used the N-word and threatened to kill officers and their families.

Galchenyuk was released by the Arizona Coyotes just 12 days after signing with them after he was arrested on charges of private property hit-and-run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest and threatening or intimidating.

Galchenyuk crashed a car into a sign and became erratic toward police.

The NHL player, who was cut on the side of his face, said those in his home country of Russia will "make a f---ing Bolognese out of" one of the officers. He then said he could make "one phone call" to connections in Russia that would lead to the killings of the officers and their families.

"One f---ing phone call, and you'll never see your f---ing family again. … One phone call, and you're dead. Your whole f---ing bloodline is dead.

"All your f---ing kids, all your f---ing wives, all your f---ing daughters will f---ing die. I'll make sure of that."

He also called an officer a "c---" and a "p----."

Galchenyuk tweeted shortly after the July arrest that he was "deeply ashamed" of his "horrific," "despicable" and "disrespectful" behavior.
