(JEWISH GROUP) Man pleads guilty to battery in attack on Jewish students on DePaul Lincoln Park campus

Just over a year after two men attacked Israeli Defense Forces Reserve Staff Sgt. Max Long and his friend, Michael Kaminsky, in broad daylight on the DePaul University campus, one of the men charged pleaded guilty to a charge in the case.

Adam Erkan was facing felony hate crime charges, and was being held in custody.

He pleaded guilty to battery/causing bodily harm Tuesday, and was sentenced to probation for two years, along with 100 hours of community service.

The other attacker remains at large.

Both Jewish students were recently calling for action from Chicago police to find the second suspect, speaking with the ABC7 Chicago I-Team.
