Los Angeles police officers in riot gear moved in on protesters at the University of Southern California (USC) Wednesday after a day of campus demonstrations against Israel.

The protests were part of a wave of demonstrations on college campuses nationwide against the universities’ ties to Israel.

At USC, hundreds of students clashed with USC Department of Public Safety officers as the confrontations escalated.

Some USC protesters were seen falling on the cement sidewalk amid the chaos. A few called for help, while others berated police officers.
