The founder of the Chicago Jewish Alliance Josh Weiner said the students are traumatized after the attack near the student center.
Chicago police said they have determined the attack was a hate crime, saying the suspect “made anti-Semitic remarks before repeatedly striking the victim.”
Police released images of the suspects in the attack.
Their injuries were minor and both Jewish students declined medical treatment.
Weiner said he wants the students to share their story when they’re ready and he is appalled by the alleged antisemitism on college campuses.
