A female student was reportedly harassed by a Donald Trump supporter who shoved her and broke her phone on the Portland State University campus over the weekend, officials said.

On Sunday around 3:30 p.m., the victim, who was not identified, was walking between Stott Field and Hoffman Hall when she was approached by a man with a video camera who asked her if she wanted to be on "Trump TV," the victim wrote in a post on Reddit.

"I said 'no thank you,'" the victim wrote, "and with the camera still in my face he asked me my thoughts on the election. I told him I didn't have time to talk with him at the moment, to which he replied, 'are you a bitch or something?'"

The man then continued berating the victim, including a lewd suggestion about her lipstick color, before she told him she was calling the police. At that point, the man grabbed her phone, threw it to the ground and stepped on it. He then shoved her and threw the phone across the courtyard.

The victim began to scream and a passerby started walking toward the commotion, at which point the man fled east toward Harrison Street, police said.

"I can only imagine what would've happened had this other person not been around," the victim wrote.

University police confirmed they were investigating the incident and said the man was described as between 30 and 40 years old with short hair and a clean shaven face with a scarred complexion. He said to be wearing a green baseball hat, aviator sunglasses and a brown jacket with patches at the time of the incident.

Investigators asked anyone with information about the incident to contact the Campus Public Safety Office at 503-725-4407 or by calling the emergency line at 503-725-4404.
