Violence broke out at the University of California, Los Angeles, overnight between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters, and police in riot gear arrived but did not immediately intervene.

Students gather on the UCLA campus to protest the Israel-Hamas war, Monday, April 29, 2024, in Los Angeles.

“Horrific acts of violence occurred at the encampment tonight and we immediately called law enforcement for mutual aid support,” Mary Osako, a senior UCLA official, told the campus newspaper the Daily Bruin. The clashes took place just outside a tent encampment, where pro-Palestinian protesters erected barricades and plywood for protection — and counterprotesters tried to pull them down.
