Sydney Ramsey-LaRee, 24, was charged with simple assault after allegedly biking up to the demonstration and hitting Jack Posobiec, the Washington bureau chief of Rebel Media, a Canadian right-wing media outlet, according to a Metropolitan Police Department arrest report.

Posobiec showed up at the demonstration with a friend and was filming his interactions with the D.C. Anti-Fascist Coalition -- a left-wing activist group -- when Ramsey-LaRee allegedly punched him in the hand as he was recording video on his phone at about 3:50 p.m.

UPD officers stationed across the street at the corner of H and 21st streets responded immediately after seeing Ramsey-LaRee punch Posobiec. They arrested Ramsey-LaRee and took him to MPD's Second District station, the report said.
