On Saturday, a Jewish student at Yale University was stabbed in the eye with a flagpole during an anti-Israel protest, according to a report by The Jerusalem Post.
The victim, Sophomore Sahar Tartak, told the newspaper that while covering the demonstration for the Yale Free Press, several individuals pushed and blocked the movements of her and a colleague before the alleged assault took place.
Tartak, who was dressed in Hasidic attire, said that she reported the battery to campus police, but she was unaware if they took any action apart from calling an ambulance for her.
The police reportedly refused her requests to disband the gathering.
The student acknowledged that she had not suffered any permanent injury from the altercation but did mention that the occurrence left her in an “awful” state.
“These students are violating every policy in the books; they should have been disbanded immediately,” Tartak told The Post. “These students have taken over campus, and it’s an intimidation tactic.”
There have been no indications of any arrests being made because of the incident.
