A large party on University Hill in Boulder on Saturday night turned destructive and violent after partygoers reportedly flipped a car, damaged emergency vehicles and caused injuries to first responders.

A police spokesman said an estimated 1,000 people attended the party near the University of Colorado and that the SWAT team was called in “with the aim of coordinating a safe response to the situation.”

Three officers suffered minor injuries from being struck by bricks and rocks, the Boulder Police Department said.

About 9:30 p.m., police reported the crowd had been dispersed.

Images showed no social distancing and most without masks despite the coronavirus pandemic.

A few in the crowd damaged and flipped over a vehicle. Others set off fireworks in the middle of the street.

9News reporter Marc Sallinger reported that “hardly any college students were wearing masks” and that three SWAT officers were injured, and that a fire truck and armored vehicle were also damaged.

“We condemn the conduct on University Hill on Saturday,” the university said in a statement. “Any student found responsible for acts of violence toward law enforcement or first responders will be removed from CU Boulder and not readmitted.”

At 11:30 p.m. police said they would be “reviewing all body worn camera footage and shared social media videos and photos to identify the individuals involved in damaging property and assaulting first responders, and encouraged anyone with information to send it to detectives via web or social media.”
