Jewish students injured in heinous attack by bottle-wielding assailant wearing Palestinian scarf on Pitt campus
|
[NYPost] Two Jewish students were attacked on the University of Pittsburgh campus late Friday by a man wearing a Paleostinian scarf and wielding a bottle.
Campus police arrested Jarrett Buba, 52, in the assault, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported. University officials said he had no known affiliation with the school.
Buba, who lives in the Oakland neighborhood where the school is located and was wearing a keffiyeh, the checkered scarf associated with Paleostinians, had been sitting at a table across a main street from where the students were walking on the final day of the first week of classes.
The students, who were both wearing yarmulkes, told cops they made eye contact with Buba but kept walking.
He then ran across the street and attacked them from behind about 6 p.m., the criminal complaint said, according to the Post Gazette.
They fought back, bringing Buba to the ground while they waited for campus cops to arrive.
Surveillance footage backs up the students’ account, the report said. The students, who were not named, were maimed in the "appalling" attack, which occurred near the university’s famed Cathedral of Learning, according to a university statement released Friday.
The police report said one of the students had cuts on his face and the other was bleeding from cuts on his neck, the Post Gazette said. One was taken to a local hospital and later released.
"While there is not believed to be any ongoing threat to the public stemming from this incident, we recognize that incidents like these are unsettling to our Pitt community," the statement read.
The area where the attack took place was the scene of pro-Paleostinian protests during spring semester calling for the university to divest from Israel in response to the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Buba was hit with two counts of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and harassment, among other charges, the Post Gazette reported. Agents from the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office are looking at the attack as a possible hate crime
Pitt leaders reached out to the Hillel University Center and Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh in the wake of the attack, which took place less than two miles from the Tree of Life Synagogue, where in 2018, mass shooter Robert Bowers killed 11 in the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history.
Counseling services were made available to the university community, and officials said there was no threat to the public.
"To be clear: Neither acts of violence nor antisemitism will be tolerated," the statement read. "Local and federal partners are supporting Pitt Police in this ongoing investigation."
One of the students tackled Buba and detained him until officers arrived, the complaint said.
Buba was wearing a red sweatshirt and a keffiyeh, a garment commonly associated with support for Palestine, the complaint said.
Officers arrested Buba after a brief struggle, the complaint said. Police said Buba also gave authorities a series of false names before properly identifying himself.
Buba was charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault, two misdemeanor accounts of simple assault and reckless endangerment, TribLive reported. He also faces charges of resisting arrest and two summary charges of harassment.
The FBI’s Pittsburgh office also is investigating the possibility charging Buba with a hate crime. He was denied bail and is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
