“A leftist decided to physically attack me at Union Station tonight. I deployed mace in self defense,” he wrote, adding, “I gave at least 4 verbal warnings to cease touching me - and then she attacked.”

The video shows Higby seated on a chair, with a Make America Great Again hat on, when a person approaches him, and after a while lunges for him. Higby falls from the chair but quickly proceeds to mace the person. Higby appeared to be holding some sort of debate – styled in the fashion of the late Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder.

“Cam Higby was VIOLENTLY attacked by a leftist at Union Station in Washington DC tonight during a conversation. This is the violent left..They can’t have a conversation so they resort to violence,” another remarked.

Yet another person added, “The incident underscores the escalating hostility that has marked political clashes in 2025," while sharing a clip of the same.

Who was the attacker?

While the attacker has not been publicly identified yet, she was wearing glasses, a full-sleeved tee, and trousers. She had a cap on as well. The woman's first name appears to be ‘Taylor’ as per Higby's post.

Higby wrote on X: “After attacking me, ‘Taylor’ decided to fight with and resist the police as well. She then made threats to us, and was ultimately arrested. There was at least 10 Park service vehicles, MPD, and FBI on scene.”

He also shared a photo of himself from the University of Maryland, with their debate topic showing. ‘The left is violent! Let’s talk', read the sign on the table.

Sharing the photo after the alleged attack, Higby commented “Point proven.”
