Jewish Yale student says pro-Palestinian protester assaulted her. Here's why she feels targeted.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- A Jewish Yale University student said she was assaulted during pro-Palestinian protests on campus and now the university is investigating. Sahar Tartak, editor-in-chief of the Yale Free Press, said she was assaulted Saturday night while covering demonstrations on the campus in New Haven, Connecticut. Tartak believes she was targeted for wearing Jewish attire. 'I wear a Star of David necklace,' she said.

'They gave one warning and said if you don't immediately vacate we're going to arrest you,' said Kimura. 'We were in our encampment peacefully protesting. Police completely ambushed us.' Police said at least 45 people were arrested. 'There were several warnings for them to leave. Those who elected to stay were arrested,' said Christian Bruckhart, with the New Haven Police Department. Officers said they were charged with trespassing, then processed and released.
