TPUSA Chapter President Violently Assaulted at University of Texas at Dallas
A female Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter president and her secretary were violently attacked with a metal bike lock while hosting an informational table at the University of Texas at Dallas on Tuesday.
According to TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, Chapter President Paige Neumann was struck forcefully on the head by the assailant, shattering her phone and causing physical injury. The attacker fled the scene on a bicycle and remains at large.
Details of the Assault
Paige Neumann and Grace, the chapter’s secretary, were hosting a tabling event when the attacker—reportedly female or possibly transgender—suddenly approached and assaulted them. Using a metal bike lock as a weapon, the assailant hit Paige in the head with enough force to completely destroy her phone.
Grace’s phone was also damaged during the violent confrontation. Both Paige and Grace sustained injuries but are reported to be physically stable.
Response and Investigation
Following the assault, Paige and Grace promptly filed a report with University Police. According to Charlie Kirk, law enforcement officials at UT Dallas are treating the incident seriously and have begun an active search for the attacker.
University officials have not yet publicly commented on the incident.
Broader Implications
This assault highlights growing concerns about politically motivated violence on college campuses nationwide. TPUSA, a conservative organization, frequently faces hostility and targeted harassment at universities.
Charlie Kirk strongly condemned the violence, emphasizing the urgent need to protect free speech and personal safety for students, regardless of political affiliation.
As of now, the perpetrator remains unidentified and has not been apprehended by police. The investigation continues, and the university community remains on high alert.
