NYU requested NYPD to gain control of ‘disorderly’ anti-Israel protest: ‘Did not need to lead to this’

New York University called in the NYPD to gain control over an anti-Israel protest after a closed off plaza on campus was breached, "dramatically changing" safety at the demonstration.
"Today's events did not need to lead to this outcome," NYU spokesperson John Beckman said in a statement.
Mass arrests began around 8:30 p.m. and, within an hour, the demonstration had largely fizzled out. The university is one of several campuses nationwide that has been embroiled in protests against Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza.
