Woman: Punched over face covering
A Little Rock woman told police that two "Trumpsters" assaulted her at a local store Friday over her face covering, according to a Little Rock police report.
The woman told police that she was shopping at the Kroger store at 1900 N. Polk St. about noon when two white men began harassing her, saying "maybe you wouldn't be so ugly if you would take that mask off," the report said.
She told the men "maybe you should put one on," according to the report.
The men told her that Democrats and Joe Biden are "baby rapists," and one of the men punched her in the face with a closed fist, then both men sped away in a vehicle, the report said.
The victim had visible injuries, but refused medical attention multiple times, according to the report.
