Student threatened with arrest by NYPD
Joshua Chambers, a second-year Politics and History student at York, was threatened with arrest at the start of his placement year at Columbia University in New York. Security and press coverage was high on September 24 when President Ahmadinejad of Iran came to speak at Columbia University.
A giant screen was erected for students to watch the speaker. Chambers said: “I had to push past crowds of protestors to enter campus, and had to show my ID to get through three different sets of barricades. At one point I tried to sneak past the barricade when the NYPD weren’t looking but they noticed and threatened me with arrest.”
