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:

Yes, it’s obvious that the Left hates Trump more than they love their children and grandchildren and many also hate their country.
No.
The left (obama) said ‘If they bring a knife to the fight, you bring a gun’.
And lets not forget low IQ Maxine Waters :
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents.”
Come on- it was his birthday party with his friends and family and onlookers seeing what happened. He was probably stunned and embarrassed.
He was probably in shock, not to mention pain from a cut that went to the bone. I’m surprised nobody thought to stop her.. The bar doesn’t have surveillance cameras? No one was taking photos or videos? Hard to believe she can’t be identified. Maybe she’s some BigWigs relative and is being protected by Liberal Elites.
At age 50 I was still coaching baseball and could outrun most of the kids to the center-field fence.
Did she RUN away? Was she THAT FAST?
I don’t know about this. NO ONE helped???
More like impossible, imo.
Maybe they’d all had a lot of beers.
I must be missing the description of the perp.
Nashville ain’t what it used to be. We go there frequently. Not as much now.
I’d have flattened the beyotch.
The main street is beginning to look like a homeless encampment, they better clean it up and get the beggers some help.
Pretty sure it would be easier to count the non-drinkers on that street, the number could be as low as 0.
Exactly. The smell of feces is everywhere and homeless bathe in the sprinkler systems outside.
Broadway was charming at one time and family-friendly. Not any more. We loved taking our young boys to Tootsie’s to listen to live music. The bartenders would always make a fuss over them and would give them free cokes.
Sigh.
Retired? at 50?
At 70, I occasionally wear my MAGA cap, but “Mr Kimber 1911” makes sure I stay safe.
Got that right. Make sure you’re well-prepped, and carry concealed w/ extra mags.
You can’t have even a conservative sticker on your car because it’d get trashed but liberal stickers were okay.
I was always taught that Gentlemen don’t hit ladies, but that was NO LADY.
Lock the witch up. What if we on the right went around punching people with Obama/Biden stickers on their Priuses? It would be all over the Drive-by news outlets. But we aren’t violent. They are.
He’s retired. Nice work if you can get it.
