Footage posted by X user AntoSan shows chaotic scenes at Milano Centrale railway station during a pro-Palestinian protest on September 22, 2025.

The video depicts smoke or tear gas filling the air as demonstrators clash with police in riot gear, causing major disruption for commuters.

Protesters were seen using smoke bombs and throwing stones, while officers responded with pepper spray to regain control of the situation.

The contrast between the historic station’s grandeur and the disorder underscores the impact on daily life and transportation. The unrest is connected to tensions over the Gaza conflict.

AntoSan noted the demonstration had occurred about an hour and a half before they recorded the video and questioned whether holding commuters hostage was necessary. “Protesting is acceptable, but it should not be carried out in such a violent manner,” they said.
