At least 30 people were arrested at Portland State, where they had occupied a library. An NYPD officer at Columbia accidentally fired his gun, police said.
Police arrested at least 30 people at Oregon’s Portland State University on Thursday as they cleared an occupied library — first in the morning and again in the evening after protesters cleared fences and returned. The library had been occupied by pro-Palestinian protesters for several days.
Kevin Allen said during a news conference. Police deployed pepper spray, they said in a release. Less than a third of the 22 arrested during the day’s operation were students, police said. The same day, a man drove toward a crowd and used “some sort of pepper spray” at the university, according to Portland police. He was located by PSU police and taken to a hospital under a police mental health hold, they said.
