Lawsuit filed against Donald Trump for alleged assault by his security detail

Five people on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump in which they claim they were attacked by his security team during a protest last week in New York.

The incident occurred just outside Trump Tower, where the billionaire developer had called a press conference to discuss his presidential bid.

A group of Latino activists went to the site on Fifth Aveneue to protest offensive comments made by Trump against Mexicans, and the candidate's security detail assaulted at least three people, according to the filing.

"In my case, they beat me, something I never imagined could happen to me in the United States," Galicia told EFE, adding that Trump's security personnel used violence "because they know that their boss approves of it."

Along with their lawsuit, the plaintiffs are asking the judge to issue a restraining order so that they can peacefully protest without being attacked by Trump's security team.

"I'm afraid for my safety, and we need guarantees so that his guards don't approach us and we may exercise our right to protest," the activist said."
