Five to six assailants also sprayed reporters with an irritant. As some reporters went to help a reporter that was pulled to the ground, assailants began to record on their cellphones.

Shortly before 3:30 a.m., four Daily Bruin reporters were walking on campus when they were followed and then assaulted.

25 protesters within the pro-Palestine encampment were hospitalized overnight, a UC Divest at UCLA spokesperson said in a press conference.

Counter-protesters attempted to storm the Palestine solidarity encampment in Dickson Plaza on Tuesday night. Some pulled down metal barriers, while others launched fireworks, tear gas and other objects at members of the encampment. dailybruin.com/2024/05/01/pro…

Security guards hired by UCLA retreated and hid inside a building last night as counter-protesters attacked a pro-Palestine encampment.

It's so incredibly clear that the police stood aside and let a pro Israeli lynch mob run wild at UCLA. They did nothing for two hours as violent Zionists assaulted students, launched fireworks into the encampment, and sprayed mace on students.

Besides Apartheid Clyde, Twitter now regularly recommends I follow el Sisi 🤷🏻‍♀️

My office was right by the encampment, and I cannot understand how it interferes with exams. It’s that little red circle.
