Columbia University Students Allegedly Sprayed with Chemical at Protest

Investigation Underway as Students Experience Health Effects, Suspects Yet to be Identified

During a protest at Columbia University, students claim they were sprayed with a chemical that caused symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and nausea.
The students, members of the suspended university groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace, believe the chemical was 'Skunk', a crowd control substance developed by the Israeli military.
Students reported seeing two unidentified men approach the group of protesters and then flee the scene as the smell spread.
Several students sought medical attention following the incident, with some experiencing symptoms days later.
The university and NYPD are investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made.
