Alleged attacker, identified as 57-year-old Rabbi Reuven Kahane, "circled the block to drive into our peaceful demonstration, striking one person," says Columbia University Apartheid Divest — the student body organising anti-war protests in NYC.Since April 18, just over 2,600 students and faculty, protests against Israel's brutal war in Gaza, have been arrested in what has been dubbed as "Student Spring" on more than 50 campuses in the US and spread to Europe .
New York Police Detective Melissa Delacruz said Tuesday's incident happened around 8:45 am near the intersection of 72nd Street and Park Avenue on the Upper East Side. The demonstrator was treated at a hospital for minor injuries. The motorist, the demonstrator and another demonstrator were taken into custody, Delacruz said.The spokesperson informed the news outlet that Kahane is charged with second-degree assault, a designation in the New York Penal Code reserved for assaults where the perpetrator intends to cause serious injury and inflicts physical harm on the victim. This offense entails a maximum potential sentence of 7 years imprisonment.
He then"circled the block to drive into our peaceful demonstration," striking one person who was"arrested and handcuffed to the bed while in the hospital," CUAD added.
