The American police announced that "a man drove his car towards a crowd of Palestine supporters at Portland State University and sprayed a chemical substance like pepper spray before fleeing." Footage captured protesters near the car, with one of them hitting and breaking the rear window, then the driver accelerated towards a crowd of protesters, but the vehicle did not collide with anyone, and the driver fled afterward, according to the police. The university police later located the driver and indicated that he was taken to a local hospital under police custody for mental health evaluation. Student activism continues at American universities, despite several interruptions of protests at colleges in New York and California, while demonstrations against the war in Gaza persist.
