A security team at Cooper Union College in the United States locked Jewish students in the library for their safety against a pro-Palestinian group that tried to break down the door against them on Wednesday night.
Video taken by one of the students shows several Orthodox Jewish students trapped in the library as a mob gathered behind the door and chanted "Free Palestine."
