Anti-Israel protests at New York University's (NYU) campus turned violent Monday night when demonstrators hurled bottles at police officers who were sent to the scene to disperse a large unruly crowd, officials said.

NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry posted a video to X taken from a live news feed showing several airborne bottles being flung at police.

The NYPD inserted graphics into the video pointing out four bottles being thrown in the background shot as a reporter for ABC7 describes the chaotic scenes unfolding.

NYPD sources confirm that 133 demonstrators were arrested at the NYU protest last night with police using zip ties and flex cuffs to remove the protesters from campus. They were taken on a bus to police headquarters, where they were charged with trespassing, the sources said.

"When NYU asked the NYPD to clear Gould Plaza of individuals who were refusing to disperse and were ‘interfering with the safety and security of our community,’ our officers moved in without delay," Daughtry wrote on the Tuesday morning post accompanying the video.

"Unfortunately, as they were dispersing the crowd, some chose violence and pelted the police with bottles," Daughtry said. "The professionalism and composure our officers showed as they cleared the plaza — despite these dangerous acts of aggression they encountered — are to be commended."

It is unclear if the bottles were glass or plastic.

Remote learning is back, as Columbia University has ceded its campus to the antisemites.

No, I am not kidding. Columbia has fallen.

Hamasholes now occupy the campus, and the administration appears to have conceded the campus to them.
