One of the people arrested at Columbia University was a saxophonist who joined after learning about the protests on social media, while another rushed to help students upon hearing about police approaching, and a third, also a nanny, linked arms with protesters unsuccessfully.
Mayor Adams and city leaders accused outside agitators of hijacking the protest, with the Police Commissioner stating that external actors aim to escalate the situation, not affiliated with the institutions or campuses.
