’Horrific acts of violence’ erupt with police at UCLA pro-Palestine protest

Pro and anti-Israel protesters clashed with sticks used as weapons as violent protests spread across US college campuses. UCLA in California said that “horrific acts of violence” broke out as protests clashed and riot police were sent in among beatings and fireworks. It came after police clashed with protesters at Columbia University in New York, which was cleared overnight after students occupied buildings. Aerial footage showed people wielding sticks or poles to attack wooden boards being held up as a makeshift barricade to protect pro-Palestine protesters, some holding placards or umbrellas. #palestine #clashes #protest Read more here: Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
