Police remove protestors blocking the entrance to Hamilton Hall, occupied by pro-Palestinian protestors, on Columbia University campus in New York City, on April 30, 2024.olice officers arrived on campuses at Columbia University and The City University of New York’s City College campus Wednesday evening, tasked by school administrators with restoring campus safety.
“Students and outside activists breaking Hamilton Hall doors, mistreating our public safety officers and maintenance staff, and damaging property are acts of destruction, not political speech,” she wrote. Shafik did not expand specifically on how public safety officers and maintenance had been treated. The NYPD arrested “approximately 300 people” at Columbia and City College campuses, per Mayor Eric Adams. Charges include trespassing, criminal mischief, and burglary.
Police locked down campus and some of the surrounding area, leaving many protesters stuck a few blocks down the road. Every time a bus full of arrested students approached, protesters cheered. Police constantly pushed them back. One protester told a cop: “You’re on the wrong side of history, you’ll see in 20 years.”
