The incident was captured by several video cameras, and Lexington police are searching for the suspects. Sherelle Roberts, a public information officer with the Lexington police, said they were looking for “at least two men, one who grabbed her and threw her to the ground, and one who stepped on her head.”
She said they would be charged with assault.
The police were already at the scene to handle crowd control for the debate between Mr. Paul and the Democratic nominee, Attorney General Jack Conway, in what has become one of the nastiest races in the country. But by the time the police got to the site of the incident, Ms. Roberts said, the suspects had slipped away and disappeared into the crowd.
“Our search is focused locally, but if someone in Nebraska or New York knows who these men are, give us a call,” Ms. Roberts said. The number to call, she said, is
(859) 425-2006.

Ms. Valle was described as having pushed her way forward when the two men grabbed her, yanked a blonde wig off her head and then shoved her to the ground. An unidentified man is heard yelling, “Get the police out here! Get the cops.”
One of the men, wearing and carrying Rand Paul paraphernalia, can be seen stomping on her shoulder and neck; he is in the process of hitting her with his foot again when another man tells him: “No, no, no. Come on.”
