UCLA protests turn violent as fights break out and firecrackers explode in ‘tent city’

An anti-Israel protest at the University of California, Los Angeles turned violent late Tuesday night as fights broke out and firecrackers were thrown at the makeshift tent encampments.

The commotion broke out at UCLA in Westwood after several agitators attempted to break down a barricade set up on campus.

One agitator blasted pepper spray into multiple people’s faces, leading to a brawl, according to video captured by Fox 11.

Firecrackers were then thrown toward a barrier set up by campus police, sending multiple people running for cover.
