Dueling groups of protesters clashed overnight at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), grappling in fistfights and shoving, kicking and using sticks to beat one another and tearing down tent encampments.
Eyewitness video captured the chaos on campus as a firework was thrown towards a protest encampment.
"They were coming up here and just violently attacking us," one pro-Palestinian protester said from the encampment.
After a couple of hours of scuffles between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators at UCLA, police wearing helmets and face shields formed lines and slowly separated the groups. That appeared to quell the violence.
