A Michigan State University (MSU) student is recovering after he was beaten up and had his mouth stapled shut during what investigators are calling a brutal hate crime, the CBS website reports today (August 28, 2012).
Zachary Tennen -- a 19-year-old sophomore in MSU's journalism program -- said he was at a house party early last Sunday morning when two men approached him and asked if he was Jewish. When he responded "Yes," the two men raised their arms into a Nazi salute and said "Heil Hitler" before knocking him unconscious, according to Tennen's mother, Tina.
About 20 people watched as the men proceeded to staple Zachary Tennen's mouth shut at the lips and gums. His jaw was broken in two places during the attack.
Tina Tennen said her son took a cab to Sparrow Hospital in East Lansing for initial treatment, but underwent surgery in metro Detroit last night to have his jaw wired shut. He is now recovering at his home in Franklin, Michigan.
