A woman interjected into a conversation at a Washington, D.C. restaurant to say she supported President Donald Trump and two women attacked her, she told police.
D.C. police are seeking two women as persons of interest in a felony assault after they allegedly attacked a woman inside the taco shack Surfside in downtown D.C. A portion of the clash was caught on video.
The victim told police she was at the restaurant on N Street NW about 1:40 a.m. Friday, March 16 and overheard a conversation among two women and a man, a police report says.
At some point, the woman interrupted their conversation and said "I support Donald Trump," she told police.
The two women then assaulted her, she said.
A silent, 43-second video clip from police shows a woman wearing a white jacket and crop top lunge toward someone off-camera who appears to be filming her. The woman's right arm winds up and the video image shakes.
Surveillance footage shows the woman in the white jacket and a woman in a black jacket standing in line at the restaurant, alongside a man wearing a tie.
