LaRosa livestreamed her group honoring veterans by waving flags on an overpass above Interstate 84 in Portland, OR when the physical altercation between the alleged professor and a female who was with the patriotic group.
Toward the end of our day, a woman came up & started berating us. She didn’t get a reaction from me so she moved on & attacked another women in our group. I had to break up a fight & put her down till the cops came. I had just started live streaming.https://t.co/hVwIgugoFh

The video below shows LaRosa keeping the female attacker pinned to the ground until law enforcement officers arrive. The female attacker refers to herself as “professor,” as she flails underneath LaRosa. The “professor” appears to be trying to bite LaRosa several times, as she complains she can’t breathe. ***Warning***Language may be considered offensive to viewers.

Leftists on social media tried to defend the professor, but LaRosa shot back, setting the record straight with this tweet:
The professor started the fight. She tried to engage me in a verbal confrontation, I turned my back ignoring her.
She then walked farther down the overpass attempting to engage others the same way. I did not see the fight start. I broke the fight up, keeping her from being hurt

Portland, Oregon journalist Andy Ngo shared photos of the injuries LaRosa received at the hands of the unhinged, anti-Trump professor. Her injuries included a bite mark on her breast and bloody knees.
