Donald Trump is being sued by a group of protesters who say that the presidential candidate’s security team attacked them during a demonstration last week in New York City, according to court papers obtained by TheWrap.
In the lawsuit, Queens resident Efrain Galicia and others say that their “group of human rights activists of Mexican origin” were attacked by Trump’s security detail while protesting on the sidewalk adjacent to Trump Tower.
In addition to Trump, the suit names his campaign and Trump’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller.
“Plaintiffs were attacked and their property destroyed for the express purpose of interfering with their political speech while they were lawfully and peacefully assembled,” reads the lawsuit, filed in Supreme Court in New York.
