University of Pittsburgh Statement

This evening, Pitt Police arrested an individual in connection to an appalling incident near the Cathedral of Learning in which a group of Jewish students was attacked by an individual wielding a bottle. Two students were treated at the scene. The alleged perpetrator, who has no known Pitt affiliation, was immediately arrested by Pitt Police and is in custody.

Upon learning about this incident, Pitt leadership contacted Hillel University Center to offer support to our students and also connected with our partners at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. We are grateful to our Pitt Police officers for their swift action, and our Student Affairs team for their ongoing student support.

While there is not believed to be any ongoing threat to the public stemming from this incident, we recognize that incidents like these are unsettling to our Pitt community. The University Counseling Center is available to any student needing support, and Life Solutions is available to all faculty and staff members. More information regarding the incident and additional resources will be provided as they become available.

To be clear: Neither acts of violence nor antisemitism will be tolerated. Local and federal partners are supporting Pitt Police in this ongoing investigation.

Additional details will be released as we are able, given the ongoing investigation.
