Two students in the Alpha Epsilon Pi house, a Jewish organization and currently unrecognized as a fraternity by the university, reported two people menacing outside of the house between 4:45 and 5:30 a.m., early Sunday morning, at 244 E. 17th Ave.
According to the Ohio Revised Code, menacing occurs when someone intentionally makes another fear for their personal and physical safety. According to the Columbus police report, the suspects were throwing bottles at the house while yelling “Jewish Bastards.”
Both victims believed the suspects were engaged “in anti-Jewish intimidation and threats.” One of the victims said the suspects pulled on a blue and yellow fraternity flag, but it was not damaged.
