What Caused the Altercation?

“I decided to come over to get some steaks and dinner for the kids. And the minute I came over here and turned that car, she saw a Trump hat on, and she instantly was triggered and came at me,” Hamblin told WNYT.

In the video below, you see the moment Benincasa appears to take swings at Hamblin using a piece of wood.  As he tries to defend himself, Benincasa is seen falling to the ground, and then Hamblin says she bit his arm.

Protesters crowd into streets, parks and plazas at anti-Trump 'No Kings' demonstrations

Demonstrators gathered in parks and plazas across the U.S. to protest against President Donald Trump.

The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.

These protests followed recent unrest over federal immigration raids and Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, where tensions escalated with protesters blocking a freeway and setting vehicles on fire.

PHOTOS: Trump's military parade rolls through Washington, D.C.

The grand military parade that President Donald Trump wanted for eight years barreled down Constitution Avenue in Washington with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute. The celebration played out against the counterpoint of protesters around the country who decried the U.S. leader as a dictator and would-be king. The Republican president, on his 79th birthday, sat under a special viewing stand constructed south of the White House to watch the display of American military might. — The Associated Press
