Patrick Dai, a junior at Cornell, faces a charge of posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications, federal prosecutors in the Northern District of New York said.

The student allegedly threatened to "shoot up" a campus building and he would "stab"or "slit the throat" of Jewish men and rape or throw off a cliff Jewish women he encounters on campus, according to the prosecutors.

He said he would behead Jewish babies and he threatened to "bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you" Jewish people, they said, attributing the words to Dai.

Dai allegedly made the threats on a virtual discussion board for Cornell students. He is expected to appear in court tomorrow. If convicted, he would face a maximum of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
