Milan, Italy – Video recorded by X user AntoSan shows turmoil inside Milano Centrale railway station during a pro-Palestinian demonstration on September 22, 2025.

The footage captures a tense atmosphere with smoke or tear gas filling the air as protesters clash with police in riot gear. Commuters faced major disruptions as the station became the center of confrontation.

Scenes reveal protesters using smoke bombs and throwing stones, while police responded with pepper spray to contain the situation.

The striking contrast between the grandeur of the historic station and the disorder highlights the protest’s impact on daily life and transportation. The unrest reflects broader tensions linked to the Gaza conflict.

AntoSan commented that the demonstration had taken place at Milano Centrale about an hour and a half earlier, questioning whether it was necessary to hold commuters hostage. They added that while protesting is acceptable, it should not be carried out in such a violent manner.
