A young black man who was brutally beaten by white supremacists during the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August is now facing the same felony charge as his alleged attackers.

A local magistrate issued a warrant for Deandre Harris on Monday on charges of malicious wounding, after an unnamed person claimed to have been injured by him during the Aug. 12 brawl, the local NBC affiliate reported.

Charlottesville police said the alleged victim went to a magistrate’s office to explain what happened and that after discussing his story with a detective, the magistrate issued the warrant. More information on the accusations will be released after Harris is arrested, police said.

Harris, 20, had been protesting the white nationalist rally when he exchanged words with six neo-Nazis who then attacked him — repeatedly beating him with large yellow poles in a parking garage near the Charlottesville police station and leaving him unconscious.

“We find it highly offensive and upsetting,” Lee Merritt, a civil lawyer for Harris, told the Washington Post about the warrant, adding that the charge was “clearly retaliatory.”

Harris had claimed no law enforcement stepped in to help him. Two men, Daniel Borden and Alex Michael Ramos, were later arrested and charged with malicious wounding.

At a court hearing in September, Ramos’ lawyer said Harris may have been the one to strike the first blow in the attack.

Merritt maintained his client did not instigate the fight and would turn himself in to police in the coming days.

The bloody August rally was organized by conservative blogger Jason Kessler after Charlottesville officials voted to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from a park.

During demonstrations, counterprotester Heather Heyer was killed when Nazi fanatic James Alex Field allegedly rammed his car into a crowd, injuring 19 others. Two state troopers also died in a helicopter crash while patrolling overhead.
