Sophomore Sahar Tartak says she went to the rally with several other people to record the protest. Tartak is the editor in chief of the Yale Free Press.
She says protesters were preventing her from walking around when she arrived at the event. She said she began recording a group of students when they began taunting her and restricting her movement.
At one point, she claims one protester waved a Palestinian flag near her face before hitting her with it. She says other demonstrators blocked her from confronting her alleged attacker.
