A Yale University student attended a protest Saturday night as a student journalist covering the event but was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag when the attacker realized she was Jewish.

Sahar Tartak, alongside her friend who was wearing Hasidic Jewish attire, attended the protest where she was filming as the Yale Free Press editor-in-chief. While she was reporting on the event of 500 demonstrators, she and her friend were identified as Jewish. They were surrounded and blocked from leaving by the protesters.
