Jewish students of Cooper Union College had to be locked inside of the school’s library.

Pro-Palestinian students began protesting and beating on the library doors, chanting, “free, free Palestine!”

The situation eventually escalated to the point in which NYPD was forced to arrive, pulling Jewish students out of the library and sending off the protestors.

“My sources tell me several Jewish students [at Cooper Union] are currently locked in the school library as a [pro] Hamas rally outside of the Cooper Union building learnt [sic] the Jews were afraid and sitting in the library, then brought the protest inside and are barricading all exits,” Fox News reported.

“Police have been called for 40 min and are afraid to get involved. Security locked the students in as they are worried they cannot protect the Jews [right now].”

“The librarians ran over to us and they were like, ‘We tried to warn you, but we just got notice that they’re coming down,’” Cooper Union student Taylor Lent recalled.

“I genuinely don’t know what would’ve happened if the doors were left open,” said another.
