MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A chaotic confrontation between protesters and police at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Wednesday morning.
After repeated warnings that the tents were there illegally, UW Madison police and other law enforcement agencies, including the State Patrol, moved onto the Library Mall and forcibly took down an encampment set up by anti war pro-Palestinian protesters.
Social media posts showed several people being taken to the ground and handcuffed.
At least one faculty member was injured.
UW police said numerous arrests were made and 4 people were booked into the Dane County Jail, and four officers were injured.
More tents went up after police left the area.
