A suspect was charged with a hate crime for a November attack on two Jewish students who were demonstrating in support of Israel at Chicago's DePaul University, the university and local officials said on Thursday.

The suspect in an attack on two DePaul students last November will remain in custody after a pretrial detention hearing Thursday.

Adam Erkan, 20, was charged hate crime and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm after the Nov. 6 attack outside the DePaul student center in the 2200 block of North Sheffield Avenue in Lincoln Park.
