CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WNCN) — The Chapel Hill Police Department released a statement in regard to a social media post describing the assault of a community member who is Muslim.

The circulating post was made by the Muslim Students Association at UNC-Chapel Hill on Tuesday, claiming there were “pro-Israeli people on Franklin Street attacking Muslim students.” CBS 17 has reached out to the Muslim Students Association for more information and has not yet heard back.

We recognize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our community and will continue to work carefully to ensure an environment where everyone feels safe and respected,” police said.
