Patrick Dai, a third-year engineering student at Cornell University, was arrested Tuesday for making "horrendous" death threats against Jews at the prestigious university.

Dai, 21, was cited in a federal complaint alleging that he posted threats to kill or injure others using interstate communications, according to the New York Post.

On Tuesday, Joel Malina, Cornell's vice president of university relations, confirmed that a Cornell student was in custody but did not directly mention Dai.

"We remain shocked by and condemn these horrific, antisemitic threats and believe they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We know that our campus community will continue to support one another in the days ahead," Malina said.

This alleged crime, which put the Ivy League campus on high alert this past weekend, could cost Dai up to five years in prison. He was interrogated hours before his arrest after police identified a person of interest, according to Governor Kathy Hochul.

The New York-born man was indicted after state police officers identified him as a person of interest for online threats to bring "an assault rifle to campus."

This message appeared after a man painted "F**k Israel" on the sidewalks of the Ithaca campus, located in northern New York.

"The genocidal fascist zionist regime will be destroyed," said another one of the messages recorded in a public forum at the school. "Rape and kill all the jew women before they birth more Jewish Hitlers."

According to the NYP report, Dai allegedly threatened to "shoot up 104 West," a university dining hall that predominantly serves kosher diets.

The suspect also allegedly threatened to "slit the throat" of all the Jewish men he came across.
