A conservative student at a Texas university was allegedly assaulted by a trans student wielding a bike lock as a weapon, disturbing video shows.
Paige Neumann, the President of the Turning Point USA chapter, recorded a video of an incident that occurred at the University of Texas, Dallas. In the footage, a 20-year-old suspect named Liam Thanh Tam Nguyen, as identified by authorities, is seen grabbing his bike and then swinging a bike lock at Neumann who was holding the camera.
Nguyen, who also identifies by the name Alyssa, was arrested and booked into Collin County Jail the same day.
The individual accused of the assault has been charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, as reported by the Dallas Observer. Additionally, he faces one count of attempting to take a weapon from an officer and one count of assaulting a peace officer.
“If he would have aimed a little bit lower, I could have been paralyzed. I think he wanted to kill me.”

Neumann, a conservative, stated that she did not provoke the attacker in any way. She emphasized that she had not uttered a single word to him before the alleged assault took place.
“I [was] just talking with my officers as I do every week,” Neumann said. “I said zero words to him, and he started attacking me. He swung the bike lock. It hit our table, our phones were destroyed and my head was severely injured.”
Neumann’s head still hurts from the incident, she said, and she plans to see a doctor about the injury soon.

“It does hurt. … I’m going to get X-rays done tomorrow to make sure that I’m OK, but it definitely hurts,” she said.
