4 Pennsylvania men charged after Black Lehigh University student was allegedly assaulted and called a racial slur

(CNN)- Four Pennsylvania men have been arrested and charged after a Black Lehigh University student was allegedly called a racial slur, chased to his dorm and assaulted on campus earlier this month, according to the Northampton County District Attorney’s Office.

Brandon John, 22, faces charges of simple assault and harassment; Michael Rosta, 21, faces charges of burglary and simple assault; Nabil Jameel, 22, faces charges of simple assault; and Cameron Graf, 22, faces a charge of simple assault and harassment. None of the defendants have any connection to the university, the DA’s office said in a Tuesday news release.

“Northampton County has zero tolerance for this type of lawless behavior, and the defendants will absolutely face the consequences for their senseless actions. Students have a right to feel safe when they are on or around campus,” District Attorney Terry Houck said.

CNN’s attempts to reach Graf, Rosta and John for comment have been unsuccessful.

“The information is completely inaccurate. No one is guilty of anything at this time,” Jameel said to CNN over the phone.
Victim said ‘n-word’ yelled toward him as he was walking home, affidavit states.
