“Yesterday, an emeritus professor was assaulted on the Westville campus.”
A screenshot from one of the clips shows a student kicking Professor Erwin Brüning, a German maths lecturer, during a protest at UKZN's Westville Campus on Wednesday.
In the first clip, Brüning can be seen approaching one of the blockades, in which students had laid steel bed frames, fridges, and tables across the road. He attempts to remove a piece of steel sheeting, presumably to clear a path for his vehicle to get through, when he is approached by a student wearing a yellow T-shirt around his head and face to conceal his identity.
The two exchange words before the student pulls Brüning by his blazer and pushes him towards his vehicle a few metres away.
