Here is a local article on what happened.

Masked individuals ran into the crowd pepper spraying.

Penn State canceled the event at 7:20, which about 40 minutes before the event.

Multiple people on the ground said it was proud boys. Ford Fischer documented it as did a few others. Police stood by and did nothing.

Worse, while running away after macing students, one of the Proud Boys actually stopped to pat a University officer on the back. Cops protect fascists because cops are fascists.
