Jaysha PatelAn 18-year-old man who police say was recorded attacking a pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA last month was arrested Thursday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, records show.
CNN was first to identify On, along with other counterprotesters, through a review of hundreds of hours of video, social media posts and interviews. The UCLA Police Department confirmed an 18-year-old on the UCLA campus on April 30 who "was seen on video assaulting encampment occupants with a wooden pole" has been arrested by UCLA Police in the City of Beverly Hills. Police did not identify On as the person arrested, but details provided by the department match the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's inmate information page.
"The UCLA Police Department is committed to investigating all reported acts of violence and is actively working to identify the other perpetrators of violence associated with any protest or counter-protest activities between April 25, 2024 and May 2, 2024," the department said.
