Violent clashes at US universities as students arrested in pro-Palestine protests | ITV News

Violent clashes have broken out between pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protesters at Universities across the United States.

Students have reported the use of pipes, tasers and pepper spray during the violent confrontations at UCLA in Los Angeles, while around 300 students were arrested in New York.

Speaking to ITV News’ US partner CNN, Anna Dai-Liu, an editor for UCLA’s newspaper, said: "There’s also been reports of pepper spray and bear spray.

"As of the moment, it’s very difficult for us to confirm which sides these sprays are coming from, but we’re hearing it’s coming more from the counter protester side.”
