Alter told Fox 19 he was struck six times by Frazier, who was held overnight without bond and is due in court Friday morning.
“I was standing with a group of people around and the truck pulled up. He was yelling at people. People yelling back anti-Trump stuff whatever, nothing specific and he just started getting violent and I’m like come on guy,” Alter told the news station.
A police report stated that Frazier broke Alter’s glasses during the attack and caused minor injuries.
“Victim stated suspect exited a vehicle, stated ‘You want some’ then struck the victim multiple times in the face causing visible injuries and breaking victim’s glasses,” read the report obtained by Fox 19.
