Man Who Punched Hayden Williams Arrested By UC Berkeley Campus Police

BERKELEY, CA. (THECOUNT) — Zachary Greenberg has been identified as the man arrested after seen on a viral video punching another man, a conservative activist, while at the University of California-Berkeley.

Greenberg, 26, was arrested by university police about 1 p.m., after a judge issued an arrest warrant in the Feb. 19 attack on Hayden Williams, the school’s public affairs department said in a statement.

University of California-Berkeley officials on Friday arrested a suspect who allegedly assaulted a conservative activist on campus last month.

Arrest records from the sheriff’s office say Greenberg was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and attempting to cause great bodily injury.

Williams, a Leadership Institute field representative who was filmed being punched on the UC Berkeley campus, reacts to a potential suspect being identified in the attack, reports FoxNews.

The arrest came on the same day that officials decided to reopen the investigation, which had concluded a week earlier.
