LOS ANGELES — Two women were briefly arrested on Friday night after a rally for Donald Trump in West Hollywood, a city from which the Republican presidential nominee is officially “banned.”

Earlier, a woman allegedly assaulted Alaskan artist and pro-Trump activist Tim Treadstone, better known by stage name Baked Alaska, outside of a popular Mexican restaurant in West Hollywood.

“This blond girl grabbed my iPhone and threw it as hard as she could to the pavement. And before I could pick it up, the brunette who was throwing the food at people punched me in the head. My glasses and my hat flew off,” Treadstone told Breitbart News Friday evening. “There were claw marks on my neck.”

The alleged assault took place after a pro-Trump rally, which took place at the intersection of Santa Monica and San Vicente Boulevards in front of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station. The event was broadcast live via Periscope.

Treadstone said the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department was contacted and that the two females attempted to hide in the restroom of a neighboring bar, but that they were arrested after a couple who witnessed the altercation — and who were not Trump supporters — spoke to police.

At the restaurant, pro-Trump ralliers had attempted to dine but were refused service. Instead, patrons hurled food, drinks and slurs at them.

A clip from Twitter shows a woman in the restaurant shouting at Trump supporters: “Get the f*** out of here. Get the hell out of here.”

“We walk in and all of a sudden pretty much all the customers started screaming at us, giving us middle fingers, and throwing guacamole, chips and food at our group,” Treadstone explained. “One of the female customers comes out and starts shoving us and physically saying ‘you guys don’t belong here,’ which was echoed by other tables at the restaurant. They kept saying ‘You’re not welcome here,’ just because we were wearing Trump hats. We weren’t allowed to eat at the restaurant.”

“The patrons started throwing food. I’ve never seen anything like it,” author and lawyer Mike Cernovich told Breitbart News. “The were throwing nachos and guacamole at us.”

He described the woman who allegedly assaulted Treadstone as “the instigator. She tried kicking all the Trump people out of the restaurant. She was the ring-leader of all the drama inside. She’s just a violent, feral person,” Cernovich said.

Earlier, at the rally, a can of Monster energy drink, eggs, and dog feces were also thrown at pro-Trump demonstrators. The can of Monster hit one man on the back.

“Justice needs to be served,” Treadstone said. “And we are going to make sure it is with the current laws in place so we ensure this doesn’t happen to other people.”

Wow!! That's just unbelievable!! What a bunch of wild people in that restaurant. Probably all illegal aliens and their advocates. Horrible. These people are not good for our country, they aren't good for our democracy, they're crazy unstable, nasty, violent people who have no respect for our country, our political system or our citizens.

Thank you Breitbart for publishing this story. I'm sure no one in the Mainstream Media will do so.

And THANK YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS for the Pro-Trump Rally!! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!! And I'm so sorry the restaurant refused to serve you and the people in it attacked you. HORRIBLE.

The two women who were briefly arrested in August after assaulting a pro-Trump activist outside of a popular Mexican restaurant in West Hollywood have been charged with assault and battery.

According to Los Angeles Court documents, Kelsey Rae Salem and Jacqueline Raye Johnson were charged and are set to be arraigned in court on Wednesday, where they will formally hear the charges against them. The assault victim was Alaskan artist and pro-Trump activist Tim Treadstone, better known by stage name Baked Alaska, who was rallying in support of Trump in a city from which the Republican presidential nominee is officially “banned.”

Pro-Trump lawyer Mike Cernovich, who is advising Treadstone on his legal rights, told Breitbart News, “Under California law, they could charge it as a felony or a misdemeanor. I suspect it will be charged as a misdemeanor,” Cernovich said. “Legally, they’ll get off relatively easy and likely do community service.”

Treadstone told Breitbart News that he had “claw marks” on his neck after one of the women assaulted him. “This blond girl grabbed my iPhone and threw it as hard as she could to the pavement. And before I could pick it up, the brunette who was throwing the food at people punched me in the head. My glasses and my hat flew off,” he said.

Earlier, at the rally, anti-Trump passersby threw a can of Monster energy drink, eggs, and dog feces at pro-Trump demonstrators. The can of Monster hit one man on the back.

Meanwhile, at the Mexican restaurant, a number of patrons started throwing food at the Trump supporters. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” Cernovich, who was also present at the rally, told Breitbart News at the time. “They were throwing nachos and guacamole at us.”

At the time, Treadstone had stated, “Justice needs to be served. And we are going to make sure it is with the current laws in place so we ensure this doesn’t happen to other people.”

Speaking with Breitbart News this week, Cernovich added, “What these women did was irresponsible and stupid and they should do some sort of community service and write an apology letter to Tim. But they don’t deserve jail time.” He also noted that “there has been a lot of violence against Trump supporters. This is one of the many including the latest attack on the GOP office” in North Carolina, which was firebombed earlier this week.

Vice Presidential nominee Mike Pence called the firebombing an act of “political terror.”

A newly-released video by James O’Keefe of Project Veritas shows that Democrats used a method known as “bird-dogging,” involving trained provocateurs, to instigate violence at Republican events nationwide throughout the 2016 election cycle, including at several Trump rallies.

“Hillary should call for this to stop,” Cernovich said.
