The Columbia University custodian who took on a pro-terror protester during the seizure of Hamilton Hall said he was “freaking out” when the mob stormed the building while he was working — an experience that’s left him too scared to return to campus.
Mario Torres, 45, was caught in the violence when rioters took Hamilton Hall on April 30, with the father-of-two caught on camera wrestling with demonstrator James Carlson, who The Post revealed to be the scion of millionaire ad execs .
“We don’t expect to go to work and get swarmed by an angry mob with rope and duct tape and masks and gloves,” Torres told The Free Press .
“The school could have done more to, A, prevent this and, B, to be there for us when we needed them,” he added, noting that he feels “abandoned” by Columbia.
