“A suburban Minneapolis man who told police he’s a supporter of President Donald Trump is accused of attacking an elderly couple with a golf club after he saw them at a street corner with a Joe Biden sign,” the Associated Press reported on Wednesday, November 11, 2020. Read story here and here.
The incident occurred on Sunday, November 8, a day after major news outlets called the election for Biden.
The man, 80, and woman, 78, were at a street corner when a man in a red pickup truck pulled up and yelled “f— you!” at them.
When they ignored them, he got out, approached them from behind, and swung a golf club at them hard enough to break the club on the woman’s chair. He then punched the man in the head, tried to run over the woman with his truck, and left the scene.
Witnesses reported the man’s license plate number to police, who found him at home. When they tried to arrest him, he threw a punch at one of the police officers, who suffered an injured thumb.
