An Israeli student attending Columbia University in New York City was assaulted on Wednesday after confronting a woman who was tearing down flyers of Israelis captured by Hamas.
An Israeli student at Columbia University in New York City was assaulted with a stick outside the Ivy League school’s main library, as tensions on campus over the Israel-Hamas conflict continue to increase. The New York City Police Department said officers responded to the area of the library at about 6:10 p.m. Wednesday, for a report of an assault on a 24-year-old man.
Police said Freidman 'identifies as female.' The victim told the Columbia Daily Spectator — a university student newspaper — he approached Freidman when he saw her ripping down the flyers. The Israeli student asked only to be identified by his initials, 'I.A.' because of safety concerns, the publication reported.
One of I.A.’s friends told the paper I.A., and other students first encountered Freidman when they were posting flyers in Uris Hall on Wednesday. Friedman told the group she was Jewish and asked to help, which the group welcomed. Later that evening, at about 5:30 p.m., I.A. and a few of his friends noticed Freidman ripping the posters down, outside of Butler Library.
By the end of the scuffle, one of the victim’s hands was bruised and the ring finger on his other hand was broken, I.A. told the newspaper. I.A. expressed concerns about the situation, saying he does not plan to return to campus anytime soon due to safety. 'We were all kind of shocked that this stuff can happen on our own campus, which should be a safe haven,' he told the Spectator.
Another chapter at George Washington University said it, too, stands 'in full support of the liberation of our homeland,' and their right to resist the 'violent 75-year-long colonization' of their homeland. Fox News Digital's Landon Mion and Michael Ruiz contributed to this report.
