Jewish student at Michigan State University says beating was hate crime
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Jewish student at Michigan State University says he was assaulted at an off-campus party in an attack he is calling a hate crime.
Zach Tennen, 19, suffered a broken jaw, and said his attackers asked him if he was Jewish before they pounced, WDIV-TV reports.
He told the station that his attackers also "were making Nazi and Hitler symbols and they said they were part of the KKK."

According to the station, party-goers watched as Tennen called a taxi to take him to the hospital.
The university referred all questions about the police investigation to the East Lansing Police Department.
