A Yale University student attended a protest Saturday night as a student journalist covering the event but was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag when the attacker realized she was Jewish.
Sahar Tartak, alongside her friend who was wearing Hasidic Jewish attire, attended the protest where she was filming as the Yale Free Press editor-in-chief. While she was reporting on the event of 500 demonstrators, she and her friend were identified as Jewish. They were surrounded and blocked from leaving by the protesters.
“As soon as I was identified with my friend, who wears a black hat as visibly orthodox Jewish students, I was immediately blockaded by protest organizers, and everywhere I walked, there was a line of protest organizers standing in front of me linking arms so that I could not walk forward,” she told Fox News on Monday.
Tartak said the other student protesters noticed that they were being blocked from moving and joined in to harass them.
“They began to taunt me as well because they recognized that I was something that they view as an enemy,” she said. “I was just there to record them.”
The protest got uglier when Tartak was physically assaulted.
“The taunting escalated until somebody waved a Palestinian flag in my face and then jabbed me in my left eye,” she said.
“When I tried to run after him, the human blockade of protest organizers continued to stand in front of me to stop me from catching my assailant,” she said. “So I went to the hospital.”
Tartak noted the irony of the Yale demonstration being held in the same plaza where there is a World War II memorial. She said that hundreds of students tore down the American flag from the flagpole two days ago but faced “minimal repercussions.”

As Fox News played the footage of the Yale protests on the screen, Tartak recognized one of her classmates.
“After October 7th, they celebrated and, of course, justified these events en masse. I know those students — I just recognized one of them from class. This is really painful to realize that your peers have joined the Nazi Party,” Tartak said.
