Anti-Israel protesters violently clash with NYPD cops outside of City College of New York

Anti-Israel protesters at the City College of New York violently clashed with police Tuesday night before officers cleared out an “intifada” encampment that was erected last week. 

The chaos broke out around 8 p.m. as protesters at the Harlem public university tried to bust through a barricade blocking them from reaching the tent city that popped up Friday, video posted to social media shows.

Cops can be seen pushing the demonstrators back as they tried to maintain their position, video posted on social media shows.

One man and a cop exchanged hard shoves while some protesters hurled garbage at the officers.

Suddenly a swarm of cops move in to make arrests, the clip shows.

As the protests moved out into the streets, one man was filmed bashing an NYPD officer in the head with a 5-gallon water jug with a sticker that read “Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.”
