A group of Jewish students at the University of Pittsburgh was allegedly attacked with a glass bottle, leaving two students injured, the university announced.

According to a statement from the Pennsylvania college, students were attacked near the Cathedral of Learning, a focal point on the Pittsburgh campus, around 11:30 p.m. Friday.

Two students were injured in the attacks. The students, who were wearing traditional Jewish yarmulkes, were treated at the scene, the university said.

The alleged perpetrator, the university said, had no known university affiliation and was immediately arrested by Pitt Police.

The suspect was wearing a kaffiyeh, a traditional checkered scarf worn in the Middle East and increasingly displayed as a symbol of solidarity with Palestinians.

University leaders were in contact with the Hillel University Center as well as the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.

The university condemned the attack, calling it "appalling."

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