No Charges Filed In NH 50501 Protest Assault Case In Downtown Concord From 2025: Follow-Up

CONCORD, NH — A police investigation into an assault in Downtown Concord in August 2025 during a NH 50501 protest is closed after the victim in the case refused to cooperate with police.

Last year, officers were requested to North Main Street to investigate an altercation that occurred around 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 2, 2025, after a group of neo-Nazis, about two dozen, dressed in red and black and wearing facemasks, marched from the Statehouse, where a “Rage Against the Regime” political protest, organized by NH 50501, was taking place, through downtown.

One member of the group was carrying black flags with white Swastikas. Other reports stated two of the marchers held a sign saying “Trump Loves Epstein” at the Statehouse. The group marched from North Main Street to South Main Street before being stopped and questioned by police after an altercation was reported with a bystander.

The group left in a U-Haul van, according to comments online.

Concord police issued a statement, and the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said the department’s civil rights unit was “aware and actively monitoring the ongoing investigation by the Concord Police Department” at the time.

After an extensive investigation by police, it turned out the victim in the case was one of the neo-Nazis, according to Interim Concord Police Chief Barrett Moulton. The case was closed because the victim refused to cooperate with the police.

“We actually had video of the incident,” Moulton said. “He didn’t want to cooperate.”

Moulton said the suspect was also a man.

Some, he said, might be upset charges were not filed against the group, based out of Maine, for using a U-Haul van to transport people. Moulton said it was not against state law to transport people in a U-Haul unless it is carrying passengers for hire or for commercial use.
