New York Police Detective Melissa Delacruz said the incident happened around 8:45 a.m. near the intersection of 72nd Street and Park Avenue on the Upper East Side.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office said it could not provide any information about the incident until the defendants were arraigned.

The group organized a protest encampment on campus that sparked similar demonstrations at other colleges across the U.S. in recent weeks.
