A 35-year-old LaPlace man was issued a municipal summons after New Orleans police say he attacked a group of protesters at Lee Circle Wednesday night (Nov. 9) when his Donald Trump flag was snatched off his truck.
As dozens of people gathered at Lee Circle in protest of Trump's election victory, the LaPlace man drove around the circle in his truck, which police say had a Trump flag and an American flag flying from its rear. One protester took the Trump flag off the man's truck and ran, police said. He then got out of his truck and attacked people in the crowd.
A group of protesters held the man down until police arrived. The people he is suspected of attacking left without speaking with officers, police say. His flag was found and returned to him.
The man was issued a municipal summons for disturbing the police by fighting, police say. NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune is not identifying him because he was not arrested. When reached by phone Thursday, the man said he was consulting with an attorney and could not comment.
