A Fox reporter covering a Donald Trump event in Burlingame, California interviewed an attendee who got into a “tussle” with a few protesters.
The man, Adam Perry, calmly told Fox’s Claudia Cowan about the aggressive treatment he received outside of the event.
He explained that he decided to check out the event by himself “just to see what the atmosphere was.” Perry said he’d been there for about an hour and a half when he was cornered by protesters in a hotel lobby:

He added that it was “very difficult” to remove himself from the situation once the attack began.
