It was unclear what set off the violence or how exactly the clash unfolded.

Police could also not immediately say exactly whether the violence broke out inside or outside of the building.

The building is home to a few different schools, including the Stephen T. Mather Building Arts & Craftsmanship High School, Urban Assembly Gateway School for Technology and Success Academy Charter School – Midtown West Middle School.
