HARRISBURG, Pa. – A Philadelphia woman is facing charges after she attacked a mounted unit police horse with a weaponized flag pole during a demonstration in Harrisburg on Saturday morning, reported Fox 43.

Lisa Simon, 23, (pictured) was charged with aggravated assault, illegal to taunt police animal, prohibited offensive weapons, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstruction administrative law. She was arraigned and taken to Dauphin County correctional facility in lieu of $100,000 bail.

The incident occurred during demonstrations at the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex in Harrisburg shortly after 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. During the rally, multiple mounted Pennsylvania State Police Troopers and Harrisburg Police assisted with crowd control as demonstrators moved from the steps of the Capitol throughout the midtown area.

Simon attacked the horse with a flag pole as a trooper and his equine partner, Sampson, were attempting to move the crowd along the 1200 block of North 6th Street, police said. The flag pole had a silver nail at the top and Simon hit Sampson in the side of his neck, according to police reports.

The report also indicates that Simon resisted police officers when they took her into custody. Sampson suffered minimal injuries and was able to continue working.

CSC Media has closely covered AntiFi demonstrations. They report, “If there was ever any question as to what kind of domestic terrorists America is facing, it should be answered. All across the nation, AntiFa and other liberal hate groups have been showing up at Conservative events to spread their hate for all things America. They have brought weapons and have used them against Conservatives as well as the police. But now a Harrisburg PA Police Horse gets attacked? Really?”

The following press release was issued by the Harrisburg Bureau of Police:

On 6/10/17 1132 hours, Harrisburg Police were assisting with the Act For America Rally on the Capital steps of N 3rd & State Streets. During this Rally part of the protestors moved from the capital steps north bound on N 3rd Street throughout the midtown area. Multiple mounted PSP Troopers and Harrisburg Police were assisting with moving a large crowd from blocking the 1200 BLK of N 6th Street towards the sidewalk.

A PSP Corporal and his partner, horse Sampson, were attempting to move the crowd when the defendant, Lisa Simon , used a flag pole with a silver nail at the top of the pole to strike horse Sampson in the side of the neck. Simon did this while obstructing the troopers from performing their duties to move the crowd onto the sidewalk.

Simon resisted Harrisburg Police officers from effecting a lawful arrest. Both the PSP Corporal and horse Sampson were able to continue working with minimal injury.

A warrant is being requested for the following charges: Aggravated Assault to Police, Taunting Police Animals, Prohibited Offensive Weapons, Obstruction to Law Enforcement Function, Resisting Arrest, and Disorderly Conduct.
