A video filmed in Washington, D.C., shows Proud Boys members surrounding a counterprotester holding a knife before they tackled him following the “Stop the Steal” rally.
“Get out! Get the f— outta here!” Proud Boys members and others shouted at the counterprotester dressed in all black. “Go that way!”
The man appears to walk away before he is pushed from behind and then pulls out a knife. Some in the crowd can be heard saying, “F— antifa.”

“He’s got a knife!” someone in the crowd shouts, as others say, “Get back! Get back!”
The man dressed in all black appears to swing the knife and move from the crowd before he is tackled.
“Get his a–!” one person in the crowd yells.
“Stop guys, stop — please stop,” a police officer can be heard saying as the crowd tackled the counterprotester to the ground. The counterprotester was then seen lying on the ground as the police approached.
Another video from the same scene, according to the New York Post, shows police and some from the crowd helping a reported Trump supporter who has been stabbed in the stomach.
“He got stabbed!” someone in the video shouts. “Medic! Medic! Medic!”
