Law enforcement officials are searching for an alleged Antifa member accused of assaulting a 19-year-old Turning Point USA student leader with a hockey stick near the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, on Thursday.
In a Friday post on X, formerly Twitter, the Boulder Police Department announced that law enforcement officials responded to an assault call at roughly 7:06 p.m. on Thursday. Officials explained that the victim called 911 after a man on roller blades came up behind him and “assaulted him verbally and with a hockey stick” as he was riding his bike.
The Boulder Police Department confirmed that the victim, who has been identified by The Post Millennial as a 19-year-old Turning Point USA student leader, was “not seriously injured” and did not accept medical treatment following the incident.
Sharing pictures of the suspect, the Boulder Police Department wrote, “The suspect is reported to be a white male, of medium-tall height and slender build. He was wearing all black clothing, a black ski mask, and had a green Gatorade bottle with an orange top in his back right pants pocket. He was skating with a hockey stick.”
The Boulder Police Department noted that the suspect fled the scene after the 19-year-old called the police. Law enforcement officials have not yet located the suspect.
Citing preliminary information, the Boulder Police Department said it appears that the unidentified suspect may have followed the 19-year-old victim from the University of Colorado onto Baseline Road prior to the assault incident.
“In the interest of transparency, detectives are also confirming that they are aware that the victim was the subject of some social media posts and a digital flyer circulated by others prior to last night’s incident,” the police department added. “Whether these played a role in the reported assault is part of the investigation, and police are not commenting further on this finding.”

Post Millennial editor Andy Ngo shared pictures of a “hit list” flyer that was circulated by Colorado Springs Antifa and Front Range Antifa. Ngo explained that the 19-year-old Turning Point USA student leader at the University of Colorado was included on the hit list, which was published shortly before Thursday’s assault incident.
The hit list accused the 19-year-old of being an “active member” of “neo-Nazi organizations,” claimed that the victim was “responsible for white supremacist, antisemitic, and anti-LGBTQ vandalism on campus and across Boulder,” and suggested that he “participated in a white supremacist boxing tournament.”
Ngo also shared additional photos released by the Boulder Police Department that show a “person of interest” in the “hockey stick assault.” The Post Millennial editor claimed that the suspect is an alleged Antifa member.
