(JEWISH GROUP) Alpha Epsilon Pi member assaulted in antisemitic hate crime

Authorities are searching for men who assaulted a member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity in an antisemitic hate crime on Saturday.

At approximately 9:50 p.m. on Feb. 28, a large white truck with “extensive aftermarket lighting” drove near the house of Cal Poly’s Jewish fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, at 280 California Blvd. The men in the truck yelled antisemitic slurs at the residents of the Alpha Epsilon Pi house, according to the Timely Warning Crime Bulletin email sent to students by the University Police Department.

The suspects then parked the truck on Hathaway Avenue and entered the Alpha Epsilon Pi property through an unlocked gate. After a verbal altercation, one of the suspects punched a resident in the head. The suspects then fled and drove away.

Law enforcement is seeking assistance to identify the suspects described as four to five white males aged 20 to 25 wearing trucker hats, blue jeans and cowboy-style boots, according to the email.
