The attack on a right-wing independent reporter at a Seattle anti-ICE protest has led to the arrest of a man who denies he is affiliated with Antifa but admits to being a left-wing activist.
Jeremy Lawson, 33, made a court appearance on Thursday after being accused of assaulting Cam Higby, who was covering the protests in June.
'It's a group of these Antifa guys. ... I film them committing crimes, and they don't like that.'
Higby told KOMO-TV he was left with a concussion and head trauma despite wearing tactical gear that included a helmet. He is still recovering from the alleged beating and says he went to the emergency room that night seeking medical attention.
Higby says he was targeted by left-wing activists because he was documenting their illegal activities.
