University of Michigan student arrested after attacking Jewish activist

A University of Michigan student, identified as Temulun Togochog, was arrested following a physical confrontation with Jewish conservative commentator Liz Benichou on the Ann Arbor campus.

The incident occurred while a group of commentators were hosting a discussion regarding whether Islam is compatible with Western values. According to reports, the confrontation escalated when Benichou questioned the attacker regarding how her attire would be perceived in Iran.

Witnesses and video footage indicate that Togochog lunged at Benichou, shoving her to the ground. During the altercation, the suspect reportedly made verbal threats, including stating, “I should have killed you when I had the chance.” Campus police arrived at the scene and took the suspect into custody.
