The FBI and University of Pittsburgh are investigating a possible antisemitic attack against a Jewish student, the second such incident in a month.

The unidentified student was walking off campus Friday morning when he was assaulted by a gang of six to eight men, NBC News reported. At least three of the suspects were in their early 20s, authorities said.

”During the assault, the actors used anti-Semitic language. A bystander intervened and ended the assault,” Pittsburgh University Police said in a news release which classified the incident as a “Hate Crime/Assault.”

The victim’s condition is unclear. The FBI has opened its own investigation into the assault to determine whether it met the criteria for a federal hate crime.

The latest incident comes after two Jewish students at the university were attacked Aug. 29 by a man with a glass bottle.

The suspect in that attack, Jarrett Buba ,is now facing charges of assault, harassment and resisting arrest.

Pittsburgh has so much to be proud of. Recently Vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance missed out on a Pittsburgh culinary landmark after he was apparently kicked out from meeting with supporters inside — despite the same restaurant chain allowing the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign to meet its supporters there. A source familiar with the campaign told Fox News that when the vice presidential campaign stopped by Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, their planned visit to excited supporters was cut short when they were promptly kicked out by employees. The source noted that Primanti Bros. management was aware that the Trump-Vance campaign was planning on stopping by. An employee told the campaign that this was "not a campaign stop" and that "JD's not allowed in," the source said. Wow. Not only is Pittsburg anti-Semitic, they are anti-republican. There’s the ‘party of joy for ya’. More like the party of HATE.
