Shmidman was one of several Jewish students who spoke at a press conference responding to the threats, which also followed an attack on a Jewish student who reportedly objected to a woman who had been tearing down posters of Hamas kidnapping victims. The suspect reportedly attacked victim 'I.A.' with a stick, and has since been arrested by the NYPD.
