Anti-Israel demonstrators, some waving Palestinian flags, hurled objects at former U.S. President Joe Biden outside Trinity College Dublin in Ireland on Wednesday.
The 83-year-old Biden had attended a ceremony honoring his son Hunter Biden, with former First Lady Jill Biden also present.
Footage showed protesters scuffling with police, chants of “Genocide Joe” and “Blood on your hands” were heard. A white liquid, thought to be milk, was also seen flying through the air.
Irish police said they had arrested three adult males “in relation to a public order incident.”
Catherine O’Mahony, the college’s spokesperson, told NBC News in a statement that the protest took place in Front Square shortly after the ceremony and escalated as the Bidens departed.
“The Biden family left without incident,” she said. “The protest dispersed soon after.”
Pro-Palestinian protesters threw milk cartons and other objects toward former President Joe Biden as he left Trinity College Dublin on Tuesday, where he attended a ceremony honoring his son, Hunter Biden.
Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and chanted “Genocide Joe” and “Blood on your hands,” criticizing Biden’s support for Israel during the war in Gaza. Security personnel used umbrellas to shield Biden as tensions escalated outside the event.
Irish police made three arrests following the confrontation. Biden was accompanied by former first lady Jill Biden for the ceremony, where Hunter was being honored with a gold medal by the College Historical Society.
