A high-ranking official with the New York Police Department said protesters had weapons including knives and hammers as well as pamphlets with "Death to America!" written on them.
Michael Kemper, a NYPD's chief of transit, posted photos Friday of what police confiscated from the protesters.
"These are not the tools of students protesting, these are the tools of agitators, of people who were working on something nefarious," Daughtry said on X. "Thankfully, your NYPD was able to prevent whatever they were planning and stop them before they could do it." Kemper asked who was organizing the protests.
"However, as we have been stating for the past 2 weeks, there is an underlying radical indoctrination of some of these students. Vulnerable and young people being influenced by professional agitators. Who is funding and leading this movement?" Kemper asked on X. Kemper also posted a letter from The New School requesting the NYPD's assistance in removing protesters from their campus on Friday.
It closed all academic building on Friday and classes were moved to online.
The college said classes on campus would resume Saturday.
Fox News reported that 56 protesters were arrested at The New School and New York University.
