(BREITBART)
A motorist was dragged from his car, forced to the ground, and beaten unconscious by Portland rioters on Sunday night, as lawlessness continues to reign with no law enforcement in sight.
UPDATE: Social media uncovered a video moments before the victim’s car crashed. ANTIFA and BLM terrorists surrounded his van, and dragged out his female partner, and beat her in the street. The radical left on social media are spreading baseless lies that the man was a white supremacist who was trying to run over innocent protesters. Also of note, AP ran a story and described the protesters once more as “peaceful”. Other videos emerged of various other attacks on the street.

Ngo then shared a tweet of the moments immediately preceding the assault, where the driver can be seen apparently trying to explain how and why his vehicle crashed. He is then made to sit while others search his vehicle. After trying to get up, the man is violently shoved to the ground.
Shouts of support for Black Lives Matter can be heard as other rioters began examining the man. A woman can be heard shouting multiple times to call 911 as the man lay bleeding on the street. Police did not arrive on the scene until after the crash and the violence had already occurred. When the police began attempting to tow away the man’s vehicle, the crowd started accusing them of “protecting white supremacists.”
