Trump supporter tries to attack elderly protester with her own walker.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) - For at least three hours, demonstrators holding signs directed at President Donald Trump stood along 23rd Avenue across from the Mid-America Center.
Just as the night was ending, emotions boiled over after an elderly protester was allegedly threatened and a daughter feared for her mother's safety.
...
"He grabbed my sign then he grabbed my walker," Evelyn Russel said. "He had it held up over his head like he was going to hit me with it."
Russell's daughter reacted by taking the man to the ground for her mother's safety.
"I proceeded to tackle him to bring him down from my mother and that's when he began to punch me," Sugar Russel said. "That's when I put my hands up and waited for people to get off."
