A 62-year-old New Jersey man was attacked and beaten by a complete stranger wielding a crowbar who took issue with the man's Donald Trump T-shirt.

Peter Yankowski was walking along a street in Bloomfield last week when a man he did not know pulled up alongside him in a gray, compact car. The Associated Press reported that the stranger began asking about his "Trump for President" shirt.

"The motorist inquired why (the man) was wearing the shirt, directing profanities at him," Bloomfield Police spokesman Ralph Marotti told NJ.com. "The (victim) continued to walk away as (the) motorist followed him."

The man followed Yankowski to the parking lot of a Friendly's restaurant, where he got out of his vehicle with a crowbar. The unidentified suspect attacked Yankowski, striking him several times with the crowbar in the scuffle.

Witnesses at the scene told police they saw the alleged attack, but they gave only a vague description of the suspect.

Yankowski suffered injuries to his arms, hands and thighs. He was treated on the scene.

The suspect fled the scene before police arrived, according to NorthJersey.com. Police are currently investigating the attack.
