A woman has been arrested on suspicion of hitting a mounted patrol horse outside last week's Donald Trump rally at the Midland Theater.

Kansas City police said April J. Foster, 29, was arrested Friday evening. She faces a municipal charge of interference or abuse of a police service animal.

The police department's mounted patrol was helping with crowd control at 13th and Main streets on March 12.

According to a police report, protesters started backing up into the street. Police said they repeatedly told protesters to get back onto the sidewalk.

Police said the horses were moved into position to keep the crowd from moving farther into the street.

Authorities said a protester came up to an officer on horseback and began yelling and screaming in the horse's face to try to scare him. The officer reported that the woman then tried to push the horse, named Dan, and when that failed, she hit the animal in the face with her hand.

Police said the woman fled from the area. Authorities said they received a tip on Monday identifying the woman.

Foster posted $500 bail. She is scheduled to appear in municipal court on May 4.
