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.

Yes, she should have been more precise and said “he dumped 95% of the water on my head and splashed the remaining 5% in my face.” /Mr. Spock mode off
A reporter should know how to relate facts truthfully.
It was a quote. Are you saying the reporter didn’t report the quote accurately? If so how do you know?
On Free Republic? Never. /s
Yup cowards.
It’ll probably be acid next time.
Maybe some sick brown windowpane? Or a nice, tiny barrel of Strawberry Fields?
Hey, NY Post, it was not an altercation. It was an ASSAULT!
'Cause there were no JimReds there. I'd be under arrest if I'd been close enough to react. When I see that sort of crap I tend to act before thinking.
And he did not punch him in the nose while the guy was pouring water on him?
Glad someone caught that! (-:
I would blame Obama for this sort of thing. Early on in his administration he began a war against Fox News because they were the only TV outlet which had not joined his propaganda apparatus. Ever since liberals and radicals have dismissed Fox as “far right” and not a legitimate news organization.
A couple of these morons getting stomped or ventilated would puy an end to these shenanigans.
At first I thought it was a political attack, but after seeing her pictures you guys posted, I think it might just have been an impromptu wet t-shirt contest.
Having seen Kat Timpf, that means he had to outweigh her by at least 40 pounds!

Why is it a conflict of interest?
