Recently submitted court filings disclose that a Los Angeles protester, prominently featured in a widely circulated arrest video, faces criminal charges for assaulting a federal officer by hurling a rock at an agent’s face shield.
Thomas Guzman was captured near the Roybal Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday evening, facing charges of felony assault against a federal officer.
A video obtained by Fox News shows the chaotic interaction, with officers screaming for protesters to get back.
Thomas Guzman was seen in the video being escorted from the protest by authorities.
Upon arrival at the Federal Protection Service (FPS) holding cell, Guzman reportedly remarked to the police, “Man, you got me, I knew I should have run,” as stated in the court documents.
The arrest happened after demonstrators throughout the week got close to law enforcement, ridiculing and taunting them.
Officers held their line for hours before the arrest took place.
