Daniel Sprague — a retired New York City police officer — was visiting The Stage bar in Nashville recently to celebrate his 50th birthday, WSMV-TV reported.
Sprague's wife got him a bunch of nifty attire for the occasion, the station said. Including a red MAGA-styled cap that reads "Make Fifty Great Again."
"People were just coming up to me and, you know, just loving the little word play on the hat and taking pictures and wishing me happy birthday," Sprague recalled to WSMV.
But a woman in the bar had enough of the celebration.
"At one point a female came up from behind me, spun me around, and punched me in the face and then grabbed my hat off my head and was just yelling, 'How dare you!'" Sprague added to the station.
The punch left a deep cut on Sprague's cheek that he told WSMV "goes to the bone"; he added to the station that she likely was wearing a ring or had a set of keys in her hand as she threw the punch.
What happened next?
The woman hasn't been identified, but Sprague told the station he filed a police report and will press charges if she's found.
"We can't just go around as a society [and act violently] because somebody has a political opinion that doesn't match theirs," he added to WSMV.
Republican New York City councilman Joe Borelli — a friend of Sprague's — got word of the incident and posted the following to Twitter:

How does a person like that get away? I would’ve decked her.
WTF is this?
Aren’t these the exact same people who have been virtue-signaling for years, saying “violence is never the answer” ??
don’t know if he’s a Trump supporter, but Trump supporters keep getting the hell beat out of them by ‘tolerant’ liberals- while these ‘tolerant’ liberals claim the right is violent- The cowards on the left love to pick on the elderly and young too- leftist Hypocrites one and all
Especially in a bar with the guys friends in attendance. Nobody thought to hold her or push her to the floor?
as a retired police officer, I woulda thought he woulda detained her, and told someone to call the police-
Guess not-
We ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Just wait until November when we make them cry again.
Daniel Sprague said the woman, after punching him, grabbed the hat off his head and yelled, ‘How dare you!’
Must be a Greta wannabe
Love trumps hate. From the Party Of Tolerance.
Should have knocker her a$$ over teakettle.
How did she get out of the bar without being grabbed and beaten?................
I want an arrest, a fair trial, and throw the book at her. People forget that the enforcementof just laws is an essential component of real Social Justice.
Lock ‘er up.
at age 50 he did nothing????
What was Hillary doing in a Nashville bar?
The Left Hates Trump’s Love of God and Country.
How sad to be them.
Turn about is fair play. He should have made her choke on her teeth.
He’s retired.
Ain’t your daddy’s NYPD anymore.
Chivalry is not a code of just about women.
Chivalry was acting the way you wanted to be treated. It was actually more like the Golden rule, formalized.
If you want to be treated like a noble, you treat others that way.
Women ouht not expect to be treated like they are off limits if they physically attack someone else. you’ve just showed everyone how everyone can respond to you. And you won’t like it.
