A Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter president was assaulted on campus at the University of Texas at Dallas while hosting an informational table on Tuesday.
Paige Neumann and her chapter vice president, Grace, were tabling when an individual on a bike approached them and launched an attack. The assailant shattered both of their phones and struck Neumann in the head with a metal bike lock.
TPUSA CEO Charlie Kirk shared details about the incident on social media, including photos and videos of the aftermath. He stated that campus police were actively investigating and searching for the suspect.
“JUST IN — Our Chapter President, Paige Neumann, and her secretary Grace were just assaulted while tabling at the University of Texas at Dallas. The attacker took a metal bike lock and slammed it against Paige’s head (pictured below), hitting her so hard that it completely shattered Paige’s phone,” Kirk posted. “It’s unclear if the perpetrator is female or trans.”
Kirk added that Neumann had filed a police report and that university authorities were taking the situation seriously. “Thankfully, Paige and her chapter VP Grace (whose phone was also destroyed) are both physically doing okay,” he wrote.
He also praised TPUSA students, stating, “Our @TPUSA students are the tip of the spear on college campuses across the country. They are brave, strong, and resilient. Thank God for these amazing students.”
According to TPUSA, the suspect is believed to be the same individual who recently disrupted an event featuring conservative commentator Alex Stein. However, this connection has not yet been confirmed. Video shows the suspect biking through Stein’s camera and mic set up, kicking over gear, and continuing on his/her way. A short chase was caught on camera, with the suspect’s face mostly visible.
