The head of a US university at the centre of chaotic protests has said the chaos pushed the campus “to the brink,” leading to heavily armed police to be called in to clear occupied buildings.
Hundreds of people have been arrested at multiple universities sand colleges in New York City alone as protests grow against Israeli’s war in Gaza. New York City’s mayor Eric Adams, meanwhile, said on Wednesday that “ outside agitators ” had descended on Columbia University ’s campus to radicalise students — as he vowed to fight for the America n “way of life” amid pro-terror protests rocking the city’s colleges.
In total, 109 people were arrested at the Ivy League campus after police responded to Columbia’s request to help oust a destructive mob that had illegally taken over the Hamilton Hall academic building. Mr Adams and police said. Separately, 173 protesters were arrested during violent scenes at the City College of New York campus in Harlem overnight, during which a mob tore down a US flag and replaced it with a Palestinian one.
Preliminary charges from both Columbia and City College range from trespass, criminal mischief and burglary, according to cops. He added that cops were able to encrypt radios to ensure an “element of surprise” when they stormed in. Ms Shafik said she and the board of trustees made the decision to enlist the NYPD’s help after a “small group of protesters” broke into the historic hall and barricaded themselves inside.
