Four additional defendants have been named in a $1 million lawsuit filed against Joey Gibson, the founder of a group involved in a clash outside a Northeast Portland cidery last week.

Cider Riot owner Abram Goldman-Armstrong’s lawsuit claims Gibson and several other right-wing protesters showed up at his business Wednesday and fought with customers, causing mayhem and physical injury to at least one person. An amended complaint also wages a new allegation: intentional interference with economic relations.

The suit now names Christopher Ponte, a Portland cop watcher; David Willis, founder of the Oregon-based Patriots United group; Mackenzie Lewis; and Matthew Cooper. Patriot Prayer, Gibson, Ian Kramer and 25 others allegedly involved in the May Day incident are also mentioned.

Kramer, Ponte, Cooper and Willis are described in the suit as having attended Patriot Prayer activities since the group’s inception. Gibson and Lewis allegedly “battered” someone in an effort to “demask” them.

The economic relations count alleges the defendants tried to interfere with Cider Riot business by harassing investors and people at the Northeast Portland cidery and tasting room — as well as through calls to file frivolous Oregon Liquor Control Commission complaints.

The remaining claims regard negligence, trespass and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Cider Riot on Wednesday hosted a May Day celebration, at which people who had participated in demonstrations earlier in the day gathered to listen to live music.

About 20 right-wing protesters, including Gibson, arrived at the business, and a clash between them and patrons of Cider Riot ensued. Video of the incident shows people deploying pepper spray, and several people fighting. According to the lawsuit, Kramer, a frequent Patriot Prayer rally participant, hit a female Cider Riot patron on the head with a baton and knocked her unconscious.

In response to the suit, Gibson said he was the one who was assaulted while standing on a public sidewalk.

“I walk into dangerous situations, I never fight back,” he told the Oregonian/OregonLive last week. He said his intention in going to Cider Riot that day was to take video and show the event that Cider Riot was hosting. He said the event was co-hosted by Rose City antifa.

He said when he got there, people were drinking on the patio and wearing masks, and several had cans of bear spray.

He said neither he nor the people he came with had spray or any sort of weapons, although video footage shows people from both groups deploying bear spray, and members of the group that came with Gibson throwing projectiles at the bar patrons.

Warning: Video contains graphic language.
