The TAHRIR Coalition, a group of more than 90 pro-Palestine organizations, organized a walkout outside Rackham Auditorium Monday afternoon to recognize the one-year mark of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack last year. At approximately 5:08 p.m., an altercation broke out between protesters and the University of Michigan Division of Public Safety & Security outside the Kinesiology Building.
DPSS officers moved through the Diag, pushing aside U-M community members to make room for a DPSS vehicle passing through. Some individuals moved out of the way of the vehicle, which was driving away from the Diag toward State Street, while others remained in front of the car to prevent its passage. DPSS officers pushed aside and pepper sprayed U-M community members who did not move out of the vehicle’s path, and detained one individual.
Following the detainment, a group of more than 150 students began marching to the DPSS station in protest.
At approximately 6:21 p.m., DPSS released the U-M community member.
