A group of Jewish students were attacked by an individual holding a glass bottle at the University of Pittsburgh campus on Friday night, the institution reported on Saturday.
Two of the students received medical attention at the scene after being struck by the bottle. The suspect behind the attack was arrested by Pittsburgh police, and the university said that the suspect has no affiliation with the institution.
The attack reportedly happened near the campus's Cathedral of Learning.
The university stated that after the attack, it contacted the Hillel University Center and the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh to offer support.
"Neither acts of violence nor antisemitism will be tolerated," the university said. "Local and federal partners are supporting Pitt Police in this ongoing investigation."
