A man has been arrested and charged with assault after punching an elderly protester during a anti-Trump rally.
Mike Alter, 61, was hit in the face while he was protesting with a group outside Donald Trump's US Bank Area in Cincinnati on Thursday.
Video posted on social media shows 29-year-old Dallas Frazier pull up in a red pickup truck and confronts Mike before throwing punches at him.
Nearby police officers then rush in to detain Frazier, who is seen wearing a green top, and handcuff him as the crowd repeatedly chant: "Lock him up!"
Victim Mike told local media WCPO that he did not provoke the man or mean to start an altercation.
He said: "I was more questioning him. Like, really you want to fight?
"[I thought] What the hell? He started just whaling my head. I didn't go down, for what that's worth."
He was reportedly hit at least three times before the police came to break up the fight.
Frazier was scheduled to appear in court on Friday afternoon, reported WXIX.
