Police officers stand guard, on the day pro-Palestinian activists' set up an encampment, at the University of California, Los Angeles on May 23.
The man, who police said had no affiliation with UCLA, was reported by local media to be a Beverly Hills High School student. The confrontation dragged on for at least three hours into the early morning of May 1 before order was restored. Police forcibly dismantled the encampment the next night, arresting 210 people.
Earlier this week, UCLA's police chief, John Thomas, was removed from his post pending an outside review of campus security and public safety protocols, university officials said. The violence took place two days after a pro-Israel group, the Israeli American Council, held a rally next to the UCLA encampment, with the council's leader, Mr Elan Carr, urging his supporters to “take back our campuses" from pro-Palestinian protesters. Scuffles broke out between the two sides.
