Flash bang devices were used to distract protesters as police moved to clear them out of Hamilton Hall, according to media reports quoting New York police. Police arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters during a night-time raid at Columbia University - nearly 24 hours after they had taken over an academic building.
The devices were used to "disorient protesters as police made their way inside", said news site CBS, adding that no tear gas was used. Here's a quick recap of what happened:
One student the BBC spoke to said "about 80 - 100 police officers" had stormed the building.
Protesters had take over the Hamilton Hall building early on Tuesday, amid two weeks of campus protests over the Israel-Gaza war.
