A large group of protesters made their way to the steps of Drexel's Main Building at approximately 7 p.m. Tuesday carrying burning torches while chanting slogans on topics ranging from health care to ending the Iraq war.
Although some yelling matches erupted between protesters and campaign supports the event was mostly peaceful.
No arrests have been made at the debate and as many 500 people were involved in the protest, according to the Philadelphia Police Civil Affairs Unit.
As the large group moved closer, police stood guard in front of the Main Building while K9 officers, state troopers and Drexel Public Safety followed the group.
