Police officers were seen detaining several protesters and trying to clear the Gaza encampment at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, April 25, amid reports of multiple arrests.

Video from Atlanta-based outlet 285 South shows officers detaining several people, as onlookers shout “let them go!”

The university’s student-run outlet reported that Atlanta police, Emory police, and the Georgia State Patrol used gas and arrested demonstrators, some of whom were reportedly also protesting the city’s controversial “Cop City” training center. Storyful has not independently verified that gas was deployed.

The university’s philosophy department chair was among those detained, according to video posted by a reporter for Atlanta News First.
