2 Hit With Skateboards At Pro-Trump Rally In Huntington Beach

HUNTINGTON BEACH, NJ — One is in custody after two demonstrators were hit over the head with skateboards during a gathering of a small group of supporters of former President Donald Trump Saturday in Orange County.

The group of about 40 people met near the Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday afternoon — just two days after Trump was indicted on criminal charges. They shouted "Make America Great Again" and "God Bless Trump," according to the Los Angeles Times. One of the men leading the chants was among the two people hit with skateboards.

Authorities said one person is in custody, and one person was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries, following the incident, which remains under investigation, according to the newspaper.

Trump was indicted in New York City on Thursday on highly anticipated criminal charges stemming from accusations he funded hush-money payments to a porn star, according to prosecutors and reports.

Trump became the first ex-president in U.S. history to face criminal charges Thursday when a grand jury voted to indict him in Manhattan, the New York Times was first to report.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office later confirmed the sealed indictment and said they had contacted Trump’s legal team to coordinate his surrender, which could occur early next week.
