Protesters against the war in Gaza were confronted by armed state troopers on the University of Texas Austin campus.

AUSTIN, Texas — Dozens of people were arrested on Wednesday during Gaza war protests on the University of Texas Austin campus.

A news photographer covering the protests was in the push-and-pull when an officer yanked him backward to the ground. The station confirmed that the photographer was arrested. A longtime Texas journalist was also knocked down in the mayhem and could be seen bleeding before police helped him to emergency medical staff.

Today, our University held firm, enforcing our rules while protecting the Constitutional right to free speech. Peaceful protests within our rules are acceptable. Breaking our rules and policies and disrupting others’ ability to learn are not allowed. The group that led this protest stated it was going to violate Institutional Rules. Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied.
