Texans for Abbott volunteers attacked in Harris County

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Authorities in Harris County have arrested a man who attacked two Texans for Abbott volunteers.

The volunteers were walking through a neighborhood Saturday, attempting to drum up support for Governor Abbott’s re-election campaign. When they returned to their vehicle, a man tried to pull them out.

Police say he damaged the vehicle by punching the side view mirrors.

Officers located the man and linked him to the attack when they found pieces of the volunteer’s vehicle in his trash can.

He was taken into custody on criminal mischief charges.

Texans for Abbott Communications Director Mark Miner released the following statement:

“Political violence is never acceptable. With just over a month until Election Day, the passion to win should never bubble over into something more dangerous. There is no place for this in Texas.”
