The suspect arrested last Friday on accusations of attacking a group of Jewish students on the University of Pittsburgh campus is now being accused of a previous incident at a different school. Jarrett Buba, the suspect identified in court documents, was arrested on Aug. 30 after a group of Jewish students on the University of Pittsburgh campus was attacked by someone “wielding a bottle,” the university said in a statement.
Buba continued to engage with the victims “in an aggressive manner” until he fled. The incident at the University of Pittsburgh involved two students who were wearing yarmulkes while walking on campus. One student made eye contact with Buba, who was seated at a table across the street, according to the criminal complaint. Buba was described in that incident as wearing a keffiyeh, a scarf that has become a symbol of Palestinian solidarity.
