The student who was hit, 23-year-old Grace Lang, identified her attacker as Kenneth Leland Morgan. Lang said she knows of Morgan through a friend of a friend and that he is known in her circles and around town.

Lang said two of her friends, one of whom is Jewish, first confronted the man.

"She was mainly just telling him he needed to leave and needed to go home," Lang said.

Video of the encounter shows the man walking around with a beer mug and swinging it at a woman, seemingly striking her in the face as she goes down. Lang said she got hit by the beer mug after trying to grab the man’s swastika armband.

"He was just feeling very proud of himself for what he was wearing," said Lang, who said she got four stitches for cuts to her face.

UGA's student newspaper, The Red & Black, reported the incident happened outside Cutters Pub and spoke to a woman, Grace Lang, who identified herself as the victim of the assault. She told the paper she was with a Jewish friend who noticed the man and yelled at him, and that while she was getting between then he swung a beer glass into her face.

Lang said her nose was broken and she needed four stitches from the assault.

She told the student newspaper she had gone to grab his swastika armband "to remove a hate symbol."
