The head of the far-right Proud Boys group was stabbed along with three other people, including black President Trump supporter Bevelyn Beatty, blocks from the White House early Wednesday.
Video recorded by the Proud Boys shows three people ambushed the group around 2:30 a.m. ET at 14th Street and New York Avenue NW. At least one person stabbed the group’s members, who were huddled together as they tried to fight off the attackers. Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio, who was stabbed in the stomach, told the Gateway Pundit that they had been walking home after watching election results come in at a nearby bar.
Beatty, known for pouring paint over a Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower in New York City, said she was stabbed in the lower back where her shirt was bloody.
“She’s bleeding really badly!” said a woman recording the video. “We just got jumped by Black Lives Matter, and they just stabbed Bevelyn Beatty.”
The video shows a man grasping his neck, where he was stabbed.
“Oh my God, you’ve got tons of blood coming out of your neck!” a woman says.
