Scott Hayes, 47, was charged on Thursday after he shot a man wearing a pro-Palestinian pin who charged and tackled him during a protest in Newton, Mass.
The charges, announced Thursday night by Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan, include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury. Hayes will be arraigned in Newton District Court on Friday.
In a video obtained by The Daily Wire, a man wearing the pin and a surgical mask around his neck stood on the opposite side of the street, yelling at a group of 10 protesters. He called them “sick” and accused them of “supporting genocide.”
