Police tore down a protest encampment at the University of Texas, arresting more than a dozen people, as unrest over Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza simmered on US campuses.
Dozens of police cars patrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles in response to violent clashes overnight when counter-protesters attacked an encampment of pro-Palestinian students. However, the sight of helmeted officers at two of America's most prestigious universities left some students dismayed.
At Columbia and at the City University of New York , where police cleared out demonstrators overnight, some students decried the police behaviour. "We've seen things like severe head traumas, concussions, someone was knocked unconscious in the encampment by police, someone was thrown down the stairs," said the student, who gave her name as Isabel.Mayor Eric Adams blamed"outside agitators" for ratcheting up tensions. Columbia students have denied outsiders were involved.
