A protester was pepper-sprayed Tuesday during a rally for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
A video posted on Facebook by the Janesville Community Page appears to show a woman yelling at a man. She then appears to attempt to shove or punch someone before she is pepper-sprayed.
She is then seen walking out of the large crowd of people.
A protest had been planned in advance of the rally in Janesville, Wis. On a Facebook event for the protest, 1,300 people had said they were attending and 2,400 more said they were interested.
The organizer of the protest said on the Facebook event that the demonstration was meant to be peaceful and not violent.
Molly Beck, a reporter for the Wisconsin State Journal also posted photos on Twitter of the incident.
This ended with the blonde woman punching that man, then getting pepper spray thrown in her face (and on me). pic.twitter.com/0udt7kSn76
