A 17-year-old wearing a T-shirt with former President Donald Trump on it was arrested over the weekend and accused of punching a 70-year-old woman at a Stuart, Florida, rally in support of Vice President Kamala Harris and abortion rights, police announced Monday.

The teen was arrested and charged with battery on a person over the age of 65 a third-degree felony after witnesses at the rally reported the woman had been struck following a separate altercation involving the teen and an adult man, the Stuart Police Department said. The woman fell to the ground, but she declined medical assistance at the scene.

She later identified herself to local news outlets as Kathleen Tomasko.
