A dramatic video appears to show a driver racing toward a crowd of people on the campus of Portland State University in Oregon on Thursday. The campus was experiencing anti-Israel protests at the time. The footage begins with a white Toyota Camry slowly approaching dozens of people blocking a street. 'Hey, get away from the car!' a man yells as an individual appears to run towards the sedan in an apparent attempt to open the door of the vehicle.
The video appears to show the vehicle revving its engine and start moving toward the crowd ahead, drawing screams and forcing them to disperse. It stops before hitting anyone. The video ends with the driver running out of the vehicle and away from the scene while spraying the same substance at others who were chasing after him.
Also on Thursday, police were called to the university to restore order from anti-Israeli agitators, who occupied the library on campus. It is not immediately clear if the protesters in the video were involved in the anti-Israel movement. Seven police officers were injured and at least 30 people were arrested at PSU on Thursday, according to Portland police.
After the library was cleared Thursday morning, the university attempted to secure it with plywood and a fence, but the agitators tore it down and re-entered the building, prompting officers to return to campus. Additional arrests were carried out by Portland police and by PSU Campus Safety. Fox News' Elizabeth Pritchett contributed to this report.
