Man in Nazi uniform assaulted Georgia student after he was denied entry to bar, officials say

A man donned what appeared to be a full Nazi uniform and assaulted a female University of Georgia student outside an off-campus bar, the school said Sunday.

The disturbance unfolded Thursday night as the man was denied entrance to Cutters Pub in downtown Athens, according to a representative for the bar and video of the incident.

"We are horrified by the actions of an individual who, while in downtown Athens wearing a Nazi uniform, assaulted a female University of Georgia student," according to a school statement.

"The man is not a student and is not affiliated with the University. His actions, which were caught on videotape, are appalling, and we are grateful to Athens-Clarke County police officers for swiftly apprehending and arresting him," the university said.
