A Tennessee reporter was arrested Tuesday as Vanderbilt University students staged a pro-Palestinian protest.

Nashville Scene reporter Eli Motycka was detained on a trespassing allegation after campus police said he violated a warning, something he denied, according to WPLN-FM.

The officer in charge of arresting Motycka said that the reporter had been warned.

“No, I have not been warned. No one has said those words to me,” he said in a video posted to social media platform X.

As he was led away, students chanted “F*** you, fascists,” although it was unclear whether that was part of the protest or directed at security taking Motycka away.
