Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters broke down the door of Zellerbach Hall Monday night, preventing an Israeli speaker from a addressing Jewish students.

Danielle Sobkin, one of the organizers who invited Israeli lawyer Ran Bar Yoshafat, said the mob grabbed a sophomore who tried to attend the event, called him a “dirty Jew” and spit on him. She said that protesters also shoved a senior into the auditorium door as she tried to check in attendees, and that they grabbed a freshman by her neck.

    There is a mention of the smashed window, but there are other articles that show it being smashed in a video. Like this one - Which has more details in general

    Another article which also describes the assault. The student also filed a police report.

    In addition:

    However, UC Berkeley Assistant Vice Chancellor Dan Mogulof told the Journal in an email that “we are aware of multiple assaults being reported on social media” but the university has only received one report of an assault so far. “That is one reason the Chancellor’s message urges students to come forward,” he added. “We cannot fully and adequately respond or investigate absent the detailed information formal police reports provide.”

    Additionally, the student told the Journal that people she knows were called “dirty Jews, Zionist pigs,” and told to “go back to where you came from.”

      Yeah, that video doesn’t show any violence either. You only hear broken glass. They don’t even show the window after it was broken.
