Nearly 100 people at Bates College in Lewiston rallied today in protest of police action on campus late last night.

Eleven people were arrested in connection with a gathering of up to 300 students that police say got out of control.

Students were celebrating when police got a call for somebody in need of help.

But police say students wouldn't let the ambulance through and became unruly.

Police say the crowd turned on them; one officer suffered a broken leg.

In the end police used pepper spray to break up the commotion.

Those arrested were charged of failure to disperse and disorderly conduct.
