| Meghnad Bose, a 31-year-old journalism graduate student at Columbia University, reported on the New York Police Department's (NYPD) raid on campus as a student journalist last night. | |
| He says police forced him and other journalists to the edge of campus while the arrests were underway. | |
| Bose says the officers were pretty “rough and aggressive” with the protesters. | |
| He says he knew one protester who was released from police custody at 07:00 local time (12:00 BST). | |
| The student protesters have been largely peaceful, Bose adds, saying he didn’t believe that police’s behaviour was necessary. | |
| “Yesterday, the NYPD just seemed far more aggressive in the manner in which it was dispersing protesters, moving them away,” he says. | |
| Earlier at a news conference, we heard from police commissioner Edward Caban, who said officers intervened because "public safety was a real concern". | |
| "The NYPD was called in to do their job," he added. | |
