PITTSBURGH — One person was arrested after an attack on a group of Jewish students on the University of Pittsburgh campus, the school said in a statement.
Two of the students were treated at the scene for injuries after the suspect, who has not been named, attacked them with a bottle near Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning, a statement said Friday.
“The alleged perpetrator, who has no known ties to Pitt, was immediately arrested by Pitt Police and is in custody,” the statement said. There was no information about what charges the suspect might face.
University leaders were in contact with the Hillel University Center and the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.
There was no ongoing threat to the population and information was provided.
“To be clear, neither acts of violence nor anti-Semitism will be tolerated,” the statement said. “Local and federal partners are supporting Pitt Police in this ongoing investigation.”
