Former professor arrested in beating at Berkeley Trump rally
A 28-year-old former East Bay community college professor was
arrested for a brutal bike-lock attack amid a clash between President
Trump supporters and radical left demonstrators last month in Berkeley,
officials said Thursday.
Video of the April 15 assault exploded on right-wing websites in the days following the clash as scores of cybersleuths began identifying Eric Clanton as the masked man seen bashing a Trump backer in the head, causing serious bleeding.
Clanton was arrested early Wednesday morning in Oakland and booked in the Berkeley Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon that is not a firearm. He is being held on $200,000 bond and is due in court at 9 a.m. Friday.
