UCLA police on Thursday arrested a pro-Israel counterprotester for his role in the violent April 30 attack on a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus, the first such arrest made in relation to the incident.
Edan On, 18, was detained in Beverly Hills and booked on Thursday into the Los Angeles County Jail on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon, according to police and jail records. He was being held on $30,000 bail.
On was identified by CNN last week as one of the attackers. He is not a student but a local high school senior, his mother told CNN, though she later denied he was at the protest at all.
