A man wearing a Palestinian pin is shot in the stomach after charging pro-Israel demonstrators in Newton, Massachusetts.
The assailant is seen across the street accusing a group of 10 protesters waving Israeli and American flags of “defending genocide” and giving them the middle finger, according to footage shared by The Daily Wire news site.
The man then charges across the street and tackles Scott Hayes, 47, an Iraq War veteran. Amid the tussle with protesters, the assailant is shot in the stomach by Hayes, the report says.
A second video shows Hayes giving medical treatment to the attacker, according to the report. The victim is suffering non-life-threatening injuries.
Though he legally had possession of the gun, Hayes is facing charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan tells The Daily Wire. |
