Jewish students at Pitt attacked; suspect arrested
“The alleged perpetrator, who has no known Pitt affiliation, was immediately arrested by Pitt Police and is in custody”
Arrested by university police. It’s not clear what, if anything, will come of this.
A man wielding a bottle attacked a group of Jewish students at the University of Pittsburgh late Friday near the Cathedral of Learning, officials said.
Two students were injured and the suspect was quickly arrested.
“The alleged perpetrator, who has no known Pitt affiliation, was immediately arrested by Pitt Police and is in custody,” the university said in a statement released by spokesman Jared Stonesifer on Friday night. “Two students were treated at the scene.”
The university called the incident “appalling.”
The identity of the suspect and the charges he faces were not immediately available. The identities of the injured students and the nature of their injuries also were not disclosed.
Officials did not elaborate on a motive, but it comes at a time of heightened tensions on college campuses in this country linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
