Edan On, a 19-year-old, faced misdemeanor assault charges for swinging a pipe at pro-Palestinian protesters at UCLA in May 2024.
The incident, captured on video, led to legal proceedings where a judge ultimately decided to grant him diversion, avoiding jail time.
The judge's decision considered several factors, including On's young age, clean record, and full-time employment, despite prosecution objections.
As part of the diversion agreement, On must complete community service, participate in anti-bias training, and stay away from the UCLA campus.
