Anne Marit Seifert,22, of Cedar Rapids, was charged with Assault outside of the Trump rally last night.

The incident occurred in the 400 block of 1st Avenue East at 6:18 p.m.

A police officer said he heard commotion while stationed near 4th Street & 1st Avenue East. The officer saw Seifert throw an egg at a tall male.

After the egg hit him in the chest she then punch the man several times with both hands and kicked both his right and left shins multiple times with both of her feet.

The officer who witnessed it said the male did not hit her nor did he try to perform any defensive strikes.

Officers took Seifert and detained her while they investigated the assault and identified her. Seifert said that she was upset because she felt that the male had come across the street to provoke her and her fellow protesters. She at no time indicated that the male had assaulted or touched her.

The 43-year old male victim indicated he wanted to press charges for simple assault. He had apparently walked over near the protesters and was filming them when the victim and Seifert got into a verbal argument and then Seifert assaulted him.

Seifert was arrested and transported to the Linn County Jail.
