Medical students at Oregon Health & Science University who’ve treated people injured in Portland protests over the death of George Floyd said police swiped their supplies during a protest on Saturday.

The students set up a medical tent with snacks, water, face masks, hand sanitizer and basic First Aid supplies near the Justice Center in downtown Portland, Michelle Ozaki, a graduate student in the OHSU School of Medicine, told The Lund Report.

About 10:30 p.m., police told them to move after declaring the protest unlawful. Ozaki said they started packing up as police approached. One of the volunteers, Michael Martinez, a graduate student in OHSU’s School of Medicine, grabbed his phone and started filming the officers.

"He said 'I’m going, I’m going,' Ozaki said. "He was literally singled out. All of a sudden a police officer points to him and says you’re under arrest."

He was charged with interfering with a peace officer, Ozaki said.
