A Cornell student was arrested Tuesday for allegedly posting threatening messages online that called for the deaths of Jewish people.

Patrick Dai, 21, was arrested on charges relating to posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications, according to an announcement from the Department of Justice. According to the announcement, Dai called for the deaths of Jewish people online, saying he was “gonna shoot up 104 west,” referring to a Kosher dining hall next to the Cornell Jewish Center.

In other posts, he threatened to rape and throw off a cliff any Jewish females, “stab” and “slit the throat” of any Jewish males on campus, and behead Jewish babies. In another post, he threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig jews.”

Authorities have been on high alert for several days, following the discovery of graphic threats towards Jewish students at Cornell University— of which roughly 22% of the student body is Jewish.
