Trump Official Assaulted at UN by Pro-Palestinian Protester
The News
A crazed lefty protester assaulted a senior advisor to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the United Nations this week, chasing her around the lobby and into a bathroom stall, screaming “slut!,” law enforcement sources said.
The unhinged encounter happened around 2 p.m. Thursday when Patricia Schuh, 62, allegedly shined a bright light in Sara Kennedy’s face while yelling “Free Palestine!” and pro-LGBT screeds and began chasing her across the lobby, the sources said.
Kennedy — who is not related to her boss at HHS — “ran to the bathroom then a bathroom stall to avoid Patricia but she followed her into the stall and scratched her right eye, possibly with her phone or jewelry,” the sources said.
The stunned staffer was treated by Emergency Medical Services at the scene and refused hospital treatment.
Schuh, who was allegedly filming Kennedy on her phone as she chased her, was charged with assault and harassment, the sources said.
She was arraigned on the charges Friday night and released because the charges weren’t bail eligible, according to a spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Reactions
Kennedy endured a “harrowing assault …at the hands of a pro-Hamas leftist radical at the United Nations,” a spokesman for RFK Jr.’s office said in a statement.
“Sara has endured a lot over the course of the past three days,” the spokesman said.
Reached at her apartment in the East Village, Schuh said she was unable to comment on the case against her.
“I can’t say anything because of the legal situation,” she told The Post. “I would, if I could, but I can’t.”
More
RFK Jr. was at UN headquarters at 45th Street on Thursday for a meeting about the prevention of noncommunicable diseases.
The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly kicked off Sept. 9, and has been marked by near daily pro-Palestinian protests, leading up to an address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Friday.
About 60 protesters were arrested Tuesday near the U.N. in a protest that included more than 150 demonstrators holding hate-fueled signs such as “Abolish Israel.’’
