Police ended the occupation after they were invited to enter campus by the university.
Protesters have been taken into custody late on Tuesday after Columbia University called in the New York Police Department to end the pro-Palestinian occupation on campus.
The demonstrators had occupied Hamilton Hall more than 12 hours earlier, spreading their reach from an encampment elsewhere that has been there for nearly two weeks. “After the university learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied, vandalised, and blockaded, we were left with no choice,” the Columbia statement said, adding that school public safety personnel were forced out of the building and one facilities worker was “threatened”.
