Man arrested in reported attack over MAGA hat

SAN FRANCISCO

Officers arrested a man who slashed another man with a sword after the victim allegedly knocked his Make America Great Again hat from his head, San Francisco police said Thursday.

Leor Bergland, 30, of San Francisco was arrested in a restaurant Wednesday night by officers staking out his neighborhood since the March 29 incident, police said.

A 27-year-old Berkeley, Calif., resident and Bergland encountered each other outside the popular Church of 8 Wheels, a roller-skating rink inside an old church in San Francisco’s Fillmore district, police said.

Bergland drew a sword and slashed the victim’s hand after the victim knocked Bergland’s hat bearing President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan to the ground, police said.
