An informed security source said that Al-Azhar University President Osama al-Abd called on Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim to get police to intervene "to protect souls and public properties" following violations against administrative buildings.
The source told Al-Masry Al-Youm on Wednesday that a police report was filed and will be reviewed by prosecution ahead of taking any decision.
Hundreds of Azhar University students reportedly broke into the university building and smashed its offices.
Many protests supporting deposed President Mohamed Morsy have been taking place at Al-Azhar since the start of the academic year mid-October.
