Washington (CNN) Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon became the latest figure from President Donald Trump's world to be targeted with public harassment while browsing books in Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday afternoon.

While at bookstore Black Swan Books, Bannon was confronted by a woman who began "verbally accosting" him and calling him "a piece of trash," according to a report by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Nick Cooke, the owner of Black Swan Books, asked the woman to leave the store and, when she refused, he called the police.

"Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked her to leave, and she wouldn't. And I said, 'I'm going to call the police if you don't,' and I went to call the police and she left," Cooke told the Richmond Times-Dispatch in an interview. "And that's the end of the story."

Cooke called 911, but the unnamed woman left before the police arrived.
