A group of protesters gathered outside Trump Tower today to demonstrate against Donald Trump‘s comments about Latinos, and a guard allegedly hit one of them in the face.
Efrain Galicia was one of a large group of protesters outside Trump Tower today:

Well, at one point, there was a bit of a scuffle, and a guard got into a bit of a fight with Galicia.
He plans on pressing charges:

UPDATE – 10:08 pm EST: Trump’s campaign told The New York Times the guard was jumped and they’ll likely be pressing charges.
