NEW YORK — Hundreds of protesters were rallying at NYU in support of Palestinians on Monday.

Police moved in on an encampment in Gould Plaza near the Stern School of Business just after 8:15 p.m. and started taking down tents and making arrests. Chopper 2’s Dan Rice reported at least two dozen demonstrators being taken to four police buses. While that was happening, protesters started throwing objects in the direction of police officers.

“We stand with Palestine and we stand with the liberation of all people,” one protester said.
