SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office is asking for the public\u2019s help identifying people<\/a> involved in reported assaults during President Donald Trump\u2019s rally at Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office released photos of people it wants to speak with. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said some pictures are of victims and others are aggressors.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office is seeking the public\u2019s help in identifying people who may have been involved in or witnessed \u201cincidents\u201d that happened during President Donald Trump\u2019s recent rally in San Antonio on Oct. 7, 2026. (BCSO)<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully nobody sustained any major injuries in any of these minor assaults, but still it\u2019s an assault and it can\u2019t be tolerated,\u201d Salazar said.<\/p>\n

Several protesters were removed from the venue during the rally. People interviewed by KSAT said they were hit, shoved and punched as they were escorted out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got assaulted,\u201d Dominic Garza said.<\/p>\n

Dominic Garza, Guliana Garza and Matthew Tabares said they attended the rally to protest Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got pushed,\u201d Dominic Garza said. \u201cShe (Guliana) got kneed in the back and shoved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tabares said he was chanting \u201cFree Palestine\u201d when he was assaulted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m yelling out, \u2018Free Palestine, Free Palestine,\u2019 and that\u2019s when I started getting attacked from a lot of Trump supporters,\u201d Tabares said. \u201cThe woman, she was pushing me, she pushed me twice and then she threw a punch at me with her phone in her hand and then the man in the red hat, he threw a punch at me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guliana Garza said a woman came up behind her and shoved her. <\/p>\n

\u201cI pushed her off a little,\u201d she said. \u201cShe, like, full-on put her knee and her hands in my back and pushed me hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dominic Garza and Tabares said they were upset with how officers handled the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was furious because I felt like nothing was done to the people that assaulted us,\u201d Dominic Garza said.<\/p>\n

According to Salazar, one person has been charged with a Class C misdemeanor assault. He said he expects additional charges in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n

Thousands attended the president\u2019s rally, and many recorded videos of the altercations. Witness Cynthia Garcia said she feared one woman was going to fall from the upper-level area in the coliseum.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they would have pushed that female in the blue sweater hard enough, she would have fallen straight down,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cI hope that with each rally that takes place, that nobody gets hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody should be attacked at an event,\u201d witness Jonathan Cox said. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s a lot of tension going on right now, but at the end of the day, this politics do not need to bring violence to each other in our city.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office is asking anyone who was assaulted or has information about the incidents to contact the agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am fully expecting other charges to come forth in the coming days and weeks,\u201d Salazar said.<\/p>\n
