Anti-Israel agitators clash with Boston Police at Emerson College

More than 100 people were arrested early Thursday at an anti-Israel protest encampment at Emerson College in Boston after agitators clashed with police.

Four officers sustained non-life threatening injuries, three minor and one serious, as police worked to dismantle the encampment, the Boston Police Department said.

Most of the 108 protesters who were arrested are students. They are scheduled to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court today.

Video posted on social media shows police officers taking down tents and forcibly removing demonstrators from the encampment at Boylston Place. 

Emmerson College advised students Wednesday that they could be subject to "imminent law enforcement action" after Boston city leaders said the tents were in violation of city code, becoming a fire hazard with students blocking doors, hydrants and access to buildings, Boston 25 News reported.

City Councilor Ed Flynn said in a statement that he contacted Emerson College about complaints regarding protestors blocking public access. 

"I firmly believe in freedom of speech, but we cannot block public access. Violations of city ordinances must be addressed. Tents in public right of ways must come down," Flynn posted on X.
