(WLS) A judge has ordered the man accused of attacking two Jewish students on DePaul University’s Lincoln Park campus to be detained.
Adam Erkan, 20, is facing aggravated battery and hate crime charges nearly five months after the attack.
Chicago police allege it was Erkan, a student studying cybersecurity at Triton College, who beat students Max Long and Michael Kaminsky, one of them an Israeli soldier, late last year, leaving them with a concussion and broken wrist.
Video shows that violent encounter from Nov. 6. It shows two masked men beat and knock down Long and Kaminsky.
The two said they were advocating for conversation outside the university’s Student Center about the Israel-Hamas war.
