A Jewish student was allegedly attacked early Sunday morning in the University of Michigan campus community in what Ann Arbor police are investigating as a “bias-motivated assault.”

According to Ann Arbor police, the 19-year-old male reported that a group of “unknown males behind him” asked if he was Jewish. The group allegedly heard him mention being Jewish before the attack. When the victim said that he was Jewish, he was allegedly thrown to the ground, kicked, and spat on.
