Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the"violence" is"absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable." The LAPD arrived on campus and broke up much of the fighting early Wednesday morning.
One agitator blasted pepper spray into multiple people’s faces, leading to a brawl, according to video captured by Fox 11. After a couple of hours of scuffles between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators at UCLA, police wearing helmets and face shields formed lines and slowly separated the groups.
