MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - A Democratic state senator from the Milwaukee area posted video from Tuesday night’s protest that he says shows the moments leading up to an attack that left him injured and suffering from a possible concussion.
Sen. Tim Carpenter posted the 11 second clip onto Twitter early Wednesday morning, saying that he “took this pic [and] it got me assaulted & beat up. According to Carpenter, eight to ten people were involved in the attack and were punching and kicking him in the head, neck, and ribs.”
At the time of the tweet, Carpenter stated he might have suffered a concussion, his vision is a little blurry, and his neck and ribs were still sore. State Sen. Tim Carpenter posted a video showing demonstrators rushing toward him during Tuesday night's demonstrations. (Screenshot via Twitter)
Carpenter indicated that as of Wednesday morning he stuck in his office at the state Captiol which has been locked up for safety. Police shared that some tried to force entry into the Capitol, with pepper spray deployed by officers on the inside to keep those individuals away.
Saying “innocent people are going to get killed, he called for an end to the violence.”
