Bevelyn Beatty, a supporter of President Donald Trump and a pro-police activist who allegedly defaced a “Black Lives Matter” street mural in New York City, was stabbed along with a number of Proud Boys members in Washington, D.C., early Wednesday.
According to a video posted to social media, Beatty was stabbed in the back, while Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was slashed in his abdomen, according to reports.
Another member of the group was cut in the neck while another was stabbed near his ear, reports said.

Later, Beatty posted a video of herself being treated at a hospital saying that she was stabbed three times. The wounds affected a lung and her liver, she said.
She also explained that she and her group had left Harry’s Bar on 11th Street and were on their way to Black Lives Matter Plaza when they saw at least three young black youths verbally abusing an older white male. “They were about to attack him,” Beatty says.
As her group moved to intervene on behalf of the white male, they were set upon by the black youths.
The DC Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the stabbings to Newsweek, noting the attacks occurred in the 700 block of 14th Street Northwest.

As election night results came in, several hundred supporters of President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden gathered on Washington streets but both demonstrations were largely peaceful.
Newsweek reported that one man who responded to calls of “Black Lives Matter” with “all lives matter” and “white lives matter” was allegedly hit with a bat. {snip}
