More than five months after two Jewish students were violently attacked at DePaul University, an Illinois man is now facing serious charges.

Adam Erkan, 20, has been charged with four felony counts: two counts of hate crime and two counts of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, Fox News reports.

Prosecutors say Erkan assaulted Max Long and Michael Kaminsky on November 6 while they were peacefully supporting Israel on the university’s campus in Chicago. Authorities also said at the time that they were searching for a second suspect involved in the incident.

Police obtained surveillance video of the attack, and the search for the second suspect remains ongoing.

Long, who serves as a reservist in the Israeli Defense Forces, reportedly lost consciousness and suffered a brain injury during the attack. Kaminsky sustained a broken wrist and needed surgery.

“It’s definitely some sense of relief,” Long said. “I’ve said many times, I felt safer having the support of my team in the army around me in Gaza than I do a lot of times on my own college campus in Chicago.”

Erkan was taken into custody outside his home earlier this week. He appeared in court Thursday, where a judge ordered him held without bail as he awaits trial.

“We are extremely grateful for the work of the police who investigated this case and apprehended the suspect,” DePaul University officials said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The suspect is not a member of the DePaul community. Acts of hate and violence have no place at DePaul. We condemn antisemitism in all its forms and stand in solidarity with those affected by this reprehensible act.”

Earlier this month, Long and Kaminsky, with the support of The Lawfare Project, filed a lawsuit against DePaul University. They claim university officials allowed antisemitic sentiment to grow on campus unchecked.

“We appreciate the work the Chicago Police Department did to identify and apprehend this suspect, and expect the State Attorney to vigorously prosecute this as the conspiracy and hate crime attack it was,” Gerard Filitti, The Lawfare Project’s Senior Counsel, said.

“We have every confidence that the second attacker will be apprehended shortly. As the judge made clear at yesterday’s hearing, the evidence shows a plan to attack Max and Michael, and its methodical implementation. It is highly significant that the defendant, Adam Erkan, was denied bail, clearly signaling that he remains a danger to the Jewish community, and setting an important precedent in the prosecution of hate crimes.”
