An 18-year-old man who was allegedly captured on video using a wooden pole to attack a pro-Palestinian encampment last month at the University of California, Los Angeles, was arrested, campus police said. The man was allegedly part of a 'group of instigators' who assaulted encampment occupants at Royce Quad on April 30, UCLA police said in a statement. Authorities accused the group of violently attacking students, faculty and staff.
Former student Ismael Sindha, who was at the encampment, told the newspaper that he saw people crying, lying on the floor and 'bleeding from their heads.' The clash went on for hours before law enforcement officers arrived, igniting criticism over the department's slow response. As a result, UCLA police chief John Thomas was temporarily reassigned, pending an examination of the security processes, the school said in a statement Wednesday.
