Left-wing activists apparently punched Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler while he was dining downtown on Wednesday, according to reports.
The incident occurred the same day that the city's police department deemed unlawful a gathering of about 60 demonstrators protesting a Wisconsin prosecutor's decision not to press charges against a White police officer accused of shooting Jacob Blake over the summer.
Activists confronted the mayor at about 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday when one suspect punched Wheeler in the shoulder and left, the Portland Police Bureau confirmed to Fox News. No arrests have been made, but the PPB is investigating.
"You assaulted me. You just assaulted me," Wheeler can be heard saying in one video posted to Twitter as activists yelled at him while he dined outdoors at Cafe Nell's, according to The Oregonian.
