The Los Angeles City Attorney charged a former Beverly Hills High School student for his involvement in an attack on the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment.
Edan On, who was a Beverly Hills High School senior during the May 30, 2024, attack, was charged with alleged assault and battery and brandishing a deadly weapon, LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto announced in an April 25 press release. On was recorded striking pro-Palestine protesters at UCLA with a long white pole while wearing a white face mask during an attack by counter-protesters on the encampment, which also included setting off fireworks and releasing irritant gases against the protesters gathered in Dickson Plaza. On was initially arrested in May after CNN published an investigation that revealed his involvement in the attack and was later released on bail.
