I get PTSD and substance abuse, but why the hell would someone then get attack random students? Is that really PTSD and substance abuse?

No, it also doesn't cause you to commit felony domestic violence. Usually it's nightmares/daymares, hyperawareness in crowds/threat assessment. It doesn't cause you to go on the offense randomly. Walking outside past a bubble tea shop, for instance, would be zero PTSD sufferers triggers. If you walked past a crowd that heightened your anxiety, you wouldn't walk into it. Especially not if you'd been treated for the PTSD like this guy.

During the April hearing, Judge Cramer issued a ten-year protective order between McGlone and his wife and daughter, according to the outlet. He also granted nine other victims in the WD-40 attacks protection orders, as well.

Innocent PTSD sufferers don't need a ten-year protection order from their wife and kid because PTSD doesn't make one violent. That was already there and is going to happen again.
