COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — Authorities say a 14-year-old girl punched a man dressed as President Donald Trump in line at a Florida haunted house while her friends recorded it.
The Naples Daily News reports that the girl could face a misdemeanor charge of battery for the Saturday attack. Authorities withheld the girl’s name because of her age.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office says the man and his family were in line to go into the Naples Haunted Gross House exhibit at the county fairgrounds when the girl walked over to him and punched him in the jaw.
The man told officials that the girl laughed and then ran away.
The victim approached the girl to ask her why she hit him while he was having a good time with his family, NBC reported.
According to the report, the victim then told a worker at the fairgrounds and Collier County Sheriff’s Office that he wanted to press charges against the girl.
According to NBC, the girl's motivation was to "strike 'Trump.'" She was removed from the fairgrounds and may face additional consequences following an investigation.
