The video from Oregonian reporter Jim Ryan appears to show Antifa protestors throwing milkshakes at Ngo, with some of them punching and kicking him.
The Oregonian reported multiple demonstrations were planned for Portland on Saturday, with one involving the right-wing group the Proud Boys and planned counter-protests involving a local Antifa group.
Ngo said he went to the hospital as a result of his injuries and the suspects were still at large. In a video he posted, Ngo’s face was bruised and bloody from various cuts.
On way to hospital. Was beat on face and head multiple times in downtown in middle of street with fists and weapons. Suspects at large.
