A Fox News host was ambushed while attending her pal’s campaign event in Brooklyn Monday night — doused head to toe with a bottle of water.
The assault against Kat Timpf, a libertarian co-host on “Fox News Specialists,” occurred at Union Pool in Williamsburg, where her friend and Brooklyn Borough president hopeful Ben Kissel was hosting the event, which coincided with his birthday.
In a series of tweets, a shaken Timpf, 28, said the attack was targeted.
An unknown guy “walks in, clearly here because he knows I’m here, dumps an entire 1.5 liter bottle of water on me, first on my head and then I turn … to look and he splashes it directly on my face and runs out. I’m shocked, I’m stunned. I’m obviously upset. I end up not being able … to speak because of it,” Timpf wrote Monday night.
She went on to add, “I’ve never seen a more disgusting insane cruel climate than the one we’re in now. Why? What does that … accomplish? I guess I wasn’t able to speak so that’s great and I guess he wins, but we’re just randomly assaulting people in public now?”
The altercation was caught on security footage, which Timpf said has been turned over to police. She also filed a police report — but the assailant is still in the wind, she said on Twitter.
Police confirmed Timpf filed a harassment complaint Monday night. They described the creep, who said nothing when he attacked, as a white male in his 20s or 30s.

Some posters on other sites are saying she ‘let him win’ and shouldn’t have let it bother her so much.
All I can say is, until something like that happens to you, and in that setting, you don’t know how you’re going to react.
Add this to the fact that she doesn’t strike me as an intimidating or physically combative person. She may not have been physically aggressive with anyone since grammar school, if ever. Some girls are still raised that way. Even some boys, nowadays, are told to ‘avoid trouble’ and not fight back. From now on, I suspect, she will have a game plan of some kind.
Plus she was HOT! We'd be fighting to see who got to rescue her.
New York yuppies.
Agree with you. Should have at least grabbed the POS - but then, its New York.
Like her a lot. Smart, hot and funny.
She is a fellow lefty.
It's called ASSAULT.
If the assaulter was a lefty, he’d have used shhiite and urine and the media would have applauded and laughed.
Can’t stomach her on FOX... as for the liberal talking heads that FOX has/had on - I liked Beckel better than Juan W - and even Juan better’n this dip-sh*t.
That said: wouldn’t this be a great publicity stunt to gather name out front and center - and probably the main topic of a whole segment on the FOX show she’s on? I smell ‘stunt’.
Just thinking out load.
What kind of man throws a bottle of water on a woman? Other than, of course, your typical pajama boy intolerant lefty.
That’s what I was thinking. Given the spate of acid attacks in the UK, I keep waiting for them to show up here— targets being conservative women instead of Muslim women.
Are you really that obtuse? This isn’t 1950 Mayberry. You sound so “yesterday”.
Americans are being harassed and silenced if they are not outright Leftists.
Damn lucky they aren’t yet dousing with ACID over here, as across the pond.
Agree. This punk does sound like coward. Where were the brave men in this group, stopping the punk and giving him a taste of his own medicine?
What is wrong with you.. she was assaulted for her political beliefs.
Exactly
You must be a libtard.
Beckel was a drunk, vile, nasty lib.
Juan is a mental defective.
She is a libertarian who is closer to a conservative than liberal.
She is a tiny little petite pretty lady.
And the only dip-sh*t is somebody who would say such a stupid thing about such a situation. And my guess is you would have just stood there while it went on too.
And when you “think out load” next time, ......try thinking.
Nice thing about articles like this, is the misfits they smoke out.
“Police confirmed Timpf filed a harassment complaint Monday night. They described the creep, who said nothing when he attacked, as a white male in his 20s or 30s”
Did the white male happen to drop the bottle? The one with his fingerprints on it?
And her libertarian crew just stood there in a puddle of their own urine, I suppose.
