Anti-Israel protesters involved in an encampment at New York University (NYU) were arrested on Monday evening.
Officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD) reportedly began making arrests amongst a crowd of anti-Israel protesters around 8:30 p.m., according to the New York Times.
The arrests reportedly came after officials from NYU warned protesters they could face potential consequences “if they did not leave” the campus plaza, according to the outlet.
Officers reportedly moved in to make arrests after university officials said the anti-Israel protesters had broken through barricades and were acting in a “disorderly, disruptive, and antagonizing manner.”
Video footage posted to X shows police officers dressed in riot gear attempting to clear protesters out.
