Savanna Deretich, the Government Affairs Coordinator for Students for Life Action, uploaded a video of the occurrence on the internet, alleging that the individual involved had been associated with comparable incidents previously.
“He came rushing forward, chanting something, and I knew he was going to attack so I pulled out my phone to record it,” she said, according to the Daily Mail.
“He sprinted up to our people, knocked the glasses off people’s heads, dashed through our march sign, and kept running,” she said, adding that the individual she saw was later arrested.
