Commissioner Edward Caban is speaking now.
He says the situation at Columbia deteriorated to the point where the public, staff and students were at risk. That's all for the police press conference. You can catch up with some of the remarks by New York Mayor Eric Adams by playing the video above.
Approximately 300 arrests were made, he confirms, adding that the preliminary charges include trespass, criminal mischief and burglary. He said police were called by the university as a result of a break-in at Hamilton Hall that was led by "individuals who are not affiliated with the university".
He says they will now let the justice system play out.
Once it become clear public safety was a concern, the New York police were called “to do their job”.
He says they "tried to lock us out" but the people of New York will never be locked out and will work together to keep the city safe.
