More than 100 people were arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest in New York City on Monday night, police said, as similar demonstrations and arrests took place at college campuses across the country.

New York University students and faculty were among the 120 people taken into custody after rocks, chairs and water bottles were thrown at New York Police Department officers who were called to disperse an encampment outside NYUs Stern School of Business in Manhattan at the schools request, authorities said.

All but four of those arrested were released with summonses for trespass. The remaining individuals received desk appearance tickets for charges that included trespass, resisting arrest and obstructing government administration, a police spokesperson told HuffPost.
