More than 100 protesters were cuffed and hauled away from Columbia University when NYPD cops in riot gear swarmed the campus Thursday after the president made the bombshell decision to clear a large anti-Israel protest encampment.
Scores of protesters – including some who had to be carried away — were quickly filed onto waiting NYPD corrections buses.
A huge crowd of other demonstrators then defiantly swarmed to the police vehicles to temporarily block them from leaving the scene.
Jewish students told The Post that the the anti-Israel protesters, some of whom espoused support for Hamas and the destruction of Israel, left them feeling threatened.
