Suspect in antisemitic incident near University of Michigan identified, case under review

Police believe they have identified the man who kicked the front door of the Jewish Resource Center and yelled antisemitic remarks as he ran away.

The incident occurred at around 1:42 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 26, at the Jewish Resource Center, 1335 Hill St., near the University of Michigan’s campus, according to surveillance footage provided by the Ann Arbor Police Department.

“Detectives have identified the subject and have submitted the case for review to the city attorney’s office,” Chris Page, spokesperson for the Ann Arbor Police, told MLive / Ann Arbor News.

Page confirmed that the city attorney’s office would determine whether charges would be filed and what kind.

Video of the incident shows multiple angles of the suspect kicking the door and then running away.

Someone can also be heard screaming “F— Israel, F— the Jewish people” as the man runs down the sidewalk.

A voice, which sounds the same, is then heard yelling “F— the Jews and F— you.”

There was no damage to the Jewish Resource Center, police said previously. The center hosts Shabbat meals and serves as a community center for Jewish students.
