Three men were arrested after protesters threw objects at former President Joe Biden outside Trinity College Dublin, according to Irish police, NBC News reported.
Videos showed some protesters waving Palestinian flags and chanting "Blood on your hands" while scuffling with police officers during the incident, which occurred as Joe Biden attended a ceremony honoring his son, Hunter Biden.
The ceremony was held by Trinity College's traditional debating society, which has honored notable figures such as Bob Geldof and Desmond Tutu in the past, NBC News noted.
Hunter Biden spoke during the event about his struggles with addiction, family life, and public scrutiny, describing the current era as one of bullies and referencing his personal experiences.
Shortly after the ceremony, a protest took place in the college's Front Square, where the confrontation with police and object throwing occurred, according to NBC News.
