A suspect has been apprehended following a violent assault on Jewish students at the University of Pittsburgh over the weekend.

According to the Post Gazette, a man wearing a keffiyeh was sitting at a table near Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning on Friday evening when a group of identifiable Jewish students passed by. In an act of rage, he took a bottle that was with him and slashed one student in the face and the other in the neck before being apprehended by university police.

Later identified as 52-year-old Jarrett Buba, officials have determined that this attack is not connected to an earlier violent incident nearby at the Carnegie Museum where a man was shot in the leg. That victim was hospitalized and is reported to be in stable condition.

Buba has no affiliation with the university, and the attack is being investigated as a hate crime.

“While we don’t believe there’s an ongoing threat to the public, we understand that such events are deeply disturbing to our community. Let us be clear: We will not tolerate acts of violence or antisemitism,” the university said in a statement.

Support is being offered for affected Jewish students through the Hillel University Center and the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.

In the aftermath of Hamas’ massacre against Israel on October 7, a wave of anti-Israel protests spread across college campuses worldwide. Over the summer, it led to intense scrutiny of universities’ handling of antisemitism, resulting in the resignations of several high-profile presidents, including those from Harvard, UPenn, and Columbia.
