MINNEAPOLIS – A man has been charged with felony assault for punching another man outside President Trump’s campaign rally in Minneapolis earlier this month.
Prosecutors charged 31-year-old Dwight Lewis of Richfield with third-degree assault on Wednesday.
A criminal complaint says the victim told police he was outside Target Center after Trump’s rally on Oct. 10 when he was punched in the mouth and required stitches.
Police identified Lewis through news video posted online. Prosecutors say he turned himself in on Monday and admitted he was the person in the video.
The criminal complaint does not say whether Lewis or the victim were attending or protesting the Trump rally. A police report notes the 22-year-old victim was leaving the rally when attacked.
