Campus protests live updates: 'Horrific violence' on UCLA campus after police clear New York protest - BBC News Campus protests live updates: 'Horrific violence' on UCLA campus after police clear New York protest - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
We can see from the live stream - which you can watch at the top of this page - that police cars have arrived on the campus.
The Los Angeles mayor's office has in the past half-hour posted on X that the city's police department "is responding immediately to (the university authorities') request for support on campus". Earlier, the focus of this page was on police's forced removal of protesters who were occupying a building at Columbia University in New York. That clash was between police and pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
But what we're seeing happening on the other side of the country at UCLA appears to be violence between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups.
Some context: these tensions have been building for some time, as both sides have mounted protests on the Los Angeles campus in recent days. What's triggered this sudden violence between both sides is not yet clear.
Security guards at first were just observing the clashes but not stepping in to stop them, the Los Angeles Times reports. The university said police had been called.
