On February 19, an activist helping a conservative group recruit on the University of California-Berkeley campus was physically assaulted by a man who called him “racist” and threatened to “shoot” him. In a confrontation caught on video, the angry suspect punched the activist square in the face after shoving him multiple times and slapping his cell phone out of his hand. According to a spokesman for the school, police have identified the as-of-yet unnamed suspect and are seeking a “felony warrant” for his arrest.
“‘One week after the incident that received national backlash, the campus has concluded its investigation of the incident,’ said campus spokesperson Dan Mogulof in a statement released Tuesday afternoon,” student-led newspaper The Daily Californian reports.
