Proud Boys founder Enrique Tarrio tells Gateway Pundit that he was slashed in the stomach, Beatty was stabbed in the back, and multiple other members of the men's social group were stabbed and are now hospitalized with serious wounds.
A law enforcement confirmed to TGP that the group was walking down the street, away from the protests, when they saw an older man being stabbed and intervened.
One of the Proud Boys was stabbed in the neck and another was stabbed in the ear.
Tarrio tells TGP that the injuries are "very serious, but not life threatening." He says they were walking to their cars when they saw a man getting stabbed and "got involved." He says the attackers were Black Lives Matter supporters.
"We were helping some guy that was getting stabbed by two black males and one female. Bevelyn got stabbed as well as two Proud Boys and the guy they were attacking. I got slashed, but it's not serious. We were walking to our cars," Tarrio explained.
No arrests have been made at this time.
Comment: This is the same Bevelyn Beatty, Christian activist, who was arrested for painting over the Black Live Matter mural on New York's Fifth Avenue back in July. See: NY Mayor's 'Black Lives Matter' mural attacked for third time in a week, this time by Christian activist
