A fight broke out on the UAB campus Tuesday afternoon as a man and woman identifying themselves as preachers were attacked by a person believed to be a student.
A witness to the incident who captured it on video told AL.com the pair were carrying signs saying things to the effect that women “belong in the kitchen, they shouldn’t be in college....just really misogynistic stuff.”
The video shows a female, believed to be a student, striking the man who said he was a preacher and knocking him to the ground. It was then that UAB campus police intervened.
The university provided few details when asked to comment on the incident.
“There was a concerning, very unfortunate altercation on campus yesterday between demonstrators and what appeared to be a student. We cannot comment further at this time, as this is an ongoing investigation,” UAB spokesman Tyler Greer.
Greer would not say if anyone was injured or arrested.
