Updated: Video has emerged of Frank Stoltze, the longtime reporter for Pasadena-area National Public Radio outlet Kpcc, being attacked outside Los Angeles City Hall on Satuday.
Stoltze was there to cover a “medical freedom” protest that drew many wearing American flag-emblazoned clothes and Maga hats, as well a counter protesters in all black. A melee ensued, and one man was stabbed. Stoltze said he was threatened, kicked and had his glasses and hat knocked off as he tried to conduct an interview.

As Stoltze turns to leave, multiple people are heard yelling, “Get the f*ck out of here.” The words “f*gg&t” and “b$tch” are also uttered as he retreats.
