A disturbing incident occurred at the University of Texas, Dallas, where a conservative student was allegedly assaulted by a trans student wielding a bike lock as a weapon. The incident was captured on video by Turning Point USA chapter President Paige Neumann, who was the target of the attack. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Liam Thanh Tam Nguyen, was arrested and booked into Collin County Jail on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and attempting to take a weapon from an officer. Neumann sustained a head injury from the attack, and another student named Grace also had her phone destroyed during the incident.
Turning Point USA posted the video of the incident online, detailing how the attacker struck Neumann in the head with enough force to shatter her phone. Neumann reported the incident to the university, and authorities are currently searching for the suspect. During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Neumann described the attack and confirmed that she had sustained a head injury. She emphasized that she had not provoked the incident and had not exchanged words with the attacker before the assault occurred. Neumann expressed concern that the attacker’s intent was to kill her, as the bike lock hit the back of her head and could have resulted in paralysis if aimed differently.
Neumann continues to experience pain from the head injury and plans to see a doctor to ensure her well-being. The incident has left her physically and emotionally shaken, as she received an unprovoked attack while engaging in regular activities with her officers. The student organization, Turning Point USA, is working with authorities to address the matter seriously and seek justice for the victims. The video of the incident has sparked outrage and concern, highlighting the need for campus safety and addressing violence against conservative students.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear, as Neumann maintains that she did not interact with the suspect prior to the assault. The incident has raised concerns about safety on college campuses and the need for tolerance and respect among students with differing political beliefs. The swift response from authorities in arresting the suspect and pressing charges illustrates the severity of the incident and the importance of holding individuals accountable for violent actions. Neumann’s determination to seek medical attention and pursue justice serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage needed to confront acts of aggression and maintain a safe environment for all students.
