    2 injured, 1 arrested after fight at pro-Trump rally in Huntington Beach
    • April 2, 2023

    At least two people were injured and one was arrested after skateboarders fought with crowds gathered at the Huntington Beach Pier in support of former president Donald Trump.

    The clash was reported about 12:30 p.m. Saturday said Huntington Beach police spokeswoman Jessica Cuchilla.

    She said one person with “minor injuries” was transported to the hospital, and a man was arrested in connection with the fight.

    Trump supporter Nick Taurus, injured at the rally, posted on Instagram that after “taking a skateboard in the head for President Trump … I’m still alive, I’m still kicking, it didn’t knock me out.” At one point, he removed a bloody bandage from his forehead to show the wound.

    About 50 people attended the rally, “and for the majority, it was peaceful,” Cuchilla said.

    The demonstrators carried U.S. and “Make America Great Again” flags, chanted “God bless Trump!” and proclaimed Huntington Beach to be “MAGA Country.”

    The rally came two days after a grand jury in New York voted to indict the ex-president, who is accused of paying off porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential bid to keep information about an alleged affair out of the campaign. His then-attorney, Michael Cohen, served prison time for the crime.

    Trump and his attorneys have denied any wrongdoing in the case. He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in New York.
