Jack Posobiec, a Washington, D.C., bureau chief for conservative outlet RebelTV, was attempting to conduct video interviews with members of the violent left-wing antifa group (aka "anti-fascists") during their protest in the nation's capital Sunday when a tattooed guy on a bike showed up.
Posobiec said antifa members were calling him a "Nazi" and telling others to "come at him" — and sure enough the punk on the bike did just that.
He's seen walking into camera frame and then — without uttering a word — taking a swing at Posobiec's cellphone camera, the journalist said.
As the guy walked back to the bike he'd left lying in the street, Posobiec confronted him: "You got a problem?"
"Yeah, I got a f***in' problem," the guy on the bike replied, "you wanna fight me?"

The guy on the bike made a brief attempt to high-tail it, but the cops were on him quickly.

"Listen to them all lying," Posobiec said.

Posobiec later tweeted that the antifa group had identified him prior to their event:
