A large group of Antifa and Black Lives Matter demonstrators wearing black bloc and carrying shields marched in the streets of Manhattan on Sunday. While the group remained mostly peaceful, a female social-media journalist came under attack for “supporting Trump.”
A group of about 25 demonstrators wearing black bloc and carrying defensive shields formed up in an intersection in Manhattan to begin a march to Times Square, independent journalist Andy Ngo revealed in a video from journalist Dean Moses.
The marchers chanted, “Whose mother-f**king streets? Our mother-f**king streets” and “What’s that noise? F**k the Proud Boys” as a larger crowd of protesters assembled behind their formation.
BLM activist Joshua Potash also captured videos showing the march through the streets.
As the march proceeded it grew in numbers.
Social-media journalist Tara Szczepanski reported being assaulted by some from the rally. She reported having an egg smashed on the back of her head.
In the video she tweeted, she is assaulted by at least two of the men. One sprayed her with a chemical string and another appeared to strike her with a skateboard.
“She’s a f**king Nazi,” some in the crowd shouted. “She supports Trump, why are you protecting her.” Then the man with the skateboard appeared to strike her.”
A second video shows her being harassed and attacked by a larger group. A person outside of camera-view reaches in and smashes an egg on the back of her head.
Szczepanski rushed to nearby NYPD police officers and appears to be assaulted again — in view of the cops. She said they “they told me to stay 6 feet from them and let me be attacked.”
In the video, a man wearing a cop costume and a pig mask is seen pushing a microphone in her direction. That man is seen in another video harassing police officers trying to maintain the peace.
