A group of pro-Palestinian protesters forced their way into a building on a University of Michigan campus in the US, police said.
Video posted on social media showed protesters on Friday pushing past police into an administration building that houses offices for the school president, Associated Press reports.
An estimated 200 people then entered the building, university deputy police chief Melissa Overton said.
Once inside, protesters chanted, called for the university to divest from Israel and waved Palestinian flags, as seen on the video.
About six police agencies, including state police, assisted campus officers. There were no reports of injuries.
Officers began removing protesters from the building on the Ann Arbor campus on Friday evening, police said.

Hostages
The Israeli military has said it has retrieved the body of a soldier, Noa Marciano, who had been held captive by Hamas in a building near Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital. It comes after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday they had found the body of Yehudit Weiss, one of about 240 hostages taken on 7 October, in a building near the hospital.
Bahrain’s crown prince says a “hostage trade” between Hamas and Israel could achieve a break in hostilities he believes might end the conflict in Gaza. Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa also said security in the region would not realised without a two-state solution, in which he described the US as “indispensable” in achieving.
