LOS ANGELES - A woman is sharing her story after she says she was attacked by a group of pro-Trump protesters near LA City Hall Wednesday.
25-year-old Berlinda Nibo was animated and upset as we talked on the sidewalk outside her apartment building following a day where she was clearly the victim of an attack by a group of Trump supporters in downtown LA.
Photos taken by freelance photographer Raquel Natalicchio, show Nibo fighting off a group that ripped her long wig off and started shoving her, using racial slurs and asking about her political preference. At one point a man grabbed her in a bear hug, not to hurt her, but to try to shield her.
"The gentleman who had his hands around me was trying to help me out. The entire time he kept whispering in my ear don’t move they’re trying to kill you … they’re trying to kill you," Nibo told FOX 11’s Phil Shuman.
Finally, passersby helped escort her to safety.
Nibo says her worst injury was a scratch to the face as someone was trying to grab her phone as she tried to record the protesters.
