A chaotic scene unfolded at the main campus of the University of California, Los Angeles in the city's Westwood neighborhood late Tuesday night as pro-Israel protesters confronted the Gaza encampment there.
There were unconfirmed reports of fights breaking out, resulting in injuries. An unverified video circulating online showed a Jewish student allegedly beaten by a mob of activists.
According to social media accounts and local reporting, the university and city police were absent from the increasingly violent scene at UCLA.
The university on Tuesday declared that the encampment “is unlawful and violates university policy" and warned students that if they did not leave they would face arrest as well as suspension or expulsion.
