Police arrested protesters at the University of Southern California (USC) campus, which closed to the public Wednesday (April 24th) amid clashes between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and authorities at the school.

Footage from the USC grounds over the course of the day shows students being watched by dozens of police moving in formation, with some protesters being arrested on camera. At least 93 protesters were arrested according to latest reports.

Video shared by Tomoki Chien, who is a student at USC, commented: "The bulk of the protesters are gone. A few stragglers may still be near the park they were originally camping in. As soon as police started firing rubber bullets, people left."

The LAPD has not yet confirmed the use of rubber bullets.
