Demonstrators at CCNY tried to break through the police barricades and were repulsed.
Earlier this week, journalist Ami Horowitz was attacked when he brought an American flag into the pro-Hamas encampment at the City University of New York.

“Before I had a chance to even wave the flag – I just took it out – this mob descended upon me,” Horowitz told The Daily Wire. “It began with punches to the torso, to the kidneys, and one to the private parts. I ran back a second time, they grabbed me again. This time there weren’t any punches thrown, but two guys grabbed me in an armlock and dragged me off the property, threw me down. I went back in a third time, this time more punches were thrown, one to the throat, a headbutt. We grappled a whole bunch.”
Journalist @AmiHorowitz went to @CUNY with an American flag. Immediately, violent extremists stole his flag and assaulted him.
The police detained him, and ordered him not to return to the protest with his “different views.” pic.twitter.com/YVa2AWzrYo

“If you did a Venn diagram of those who hate Israel, and those who hate America, they’d be concentric circles,” Horowitz said. “It’s the administration, the professors … they’re feeding this garbage into the minds of these students. These students look up to these professors. It’s garbage in and garbage out.”
