Campus police have announced an arrest in the felony assault case involving a man caught on video punching another man on the UC Berkeley campus last week.
The University of California Police Department announced the arrest by email at 2:10 p.m. Friday. Police said UCPD arrested Zachary Greenberg on a warrant involving a Feb. 19 assault on Sproul Plaza. Police said last week that they had identified the suspect in the case but did not release his name until Friday.
Videos of the incident went viral last week after they were shared by conservative groups and figures calling the assault a leftist attack on students’ free speech. UC Berkeley has said that neither man is a Cal student.
According to UCPD, an Alameda County Superior Court judge issued a warrant for Greenberg’s arrest Friday. He was booked into jail at 1 p.m., UCPD said.
“UCPD will formally present the case to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of the filing of criminal charges,” UCPD wrote in the prepared statement. “Once the matter is presented and reviewed by the District Attorney’s Office, additional information will be made available regarding a charging decision.”
According to jail records online, Greenberg was arrested in Berkeley at 12:18 p.m. on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm with force likely to produce great bodily injury. His city of residence was not immediately available.
The 28-year-old is being held with a bail of $30,000 and is set for arraignment Monday, according to jail records online

UC-Berkeley Reopens Investigation Into Assault On Conservative Activist After Announcing Its End
Was it the 50,000 dollar bounty?
Post his address so folks can shame him at his house. It’s only fair, because libs do that to conservatives all the time over nothing. This guy is pure evil and deserves shaming (and lots of jail time).
sounds like a hate crime to me.
Sure took them long enough to act.
The enormous amount of public pressure finally got to them.
Thanks blam. Berkeley had planned to do nothing, let it all die away, but that didn't work out for them. The guy who was assaulted needs to sue their sorry asses.
Zach Greenberg identified! See? What was so hard about that?
He probably already had time to delete any incriminating evidence on his phone or personal computer.
He was put in custody over two hours ago, and therefore
may already be out on bail as we read this, payment courtesy of The Resistance.
From the article: “His city of residence was not immediately available.”
Too bad, or he’d get some crowds.
He better not drop the soap in the shower when he stays at the crossbar hotel.
About damned time, but whagt’s with such a low bail?
It made no sense that he had not been identified from all those clear photos.
“About damned time, but what’s with such a low bail?”
His father is probably a Hollywood mogul.
fyi
I guess h will be a shoo in for tenure, after this blows over.
When dealing with evil fairness is the wrong mindset even when spoken of facetiously. Be mean, cruel, vicious. Let those be your first thoughts.
He was identified a while back.
He's also known to be an ANTIFA member, but you won't read about that in the papers.
T/F/T/H/U.
Good coverage by Sean Hannity. on this video.And, looks like additional assault video too.
