The suspect arrested last Friday on accusations of attacking a group of Jewish students on the University of Pittsburgh campus is now being accused of a previous incident at a different school.
Jarrett Buba, the suspect identified in court documents, was arrested on Aug. 30 after a group of Jewish students on the University of Pittsburgh campus was attacked by someone “wielding a bottle,” the university said in a statement.
He had no known affiliation to the school, according to the university, and was “immediately arrested.”
Buba was charged last week with two counts of simple assault, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of recklessly endangering another person, two counts of harassment and one count of resisting arrest, according to online records.
According to the criminal complaint, on Aug. 29 — the day before the attack on the University of Pittsburgh campus — two Carnegie Mellon University community members had a glass bottle thrown at them.
