It is understood that five students sustained minor injuries during the chaos that ensued after students raised several issues relating to NSFAS payments and accommodation.
The students were all transported by Life24/7 Ambulance Service to City Hospital for further treatment.
SAPS spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane said: "This morning at 10am‚ about 500 students embarked in a protest. They threw stones and damaged two vehicles as well as the university property. During the stone throwing four students sustained injuries. The situation is quiet now and [the protesters] have dispersed."
He said police were monitoring the scene.
DUT management didn't respond to queries.
