One vehicle was destroyed as a group of people overturned it and then jumped on top.

“As officers tried to bring that situation under control, bottles, cans and other objects were thrown at them,” the university said. “Additional law enforcement resources were called to the scene. Officers then broadcast orders to clear the street from both police cruisers and a loudspeaker.”

UD also sent emails and text messages asking people to leave the area.
