A demonstrator named “Jihad” who was at Monday’s chaotic protest against Turning Point USA at the University of California-Berkeley was charged with assault and robbery for an incident at the scene, according to cops.
Jihad Dphrepaulezz, 25, allegedly snatched a chain necklace from an attendee, sparking a vicious fight that left him and the victim covered in blood — as “antifa thugs” clashed with Charlie Kirk supporters exactly two months after the TPUSA founder’s assassination.
The unidentified victim was initially arrested, too, but later released.
Jihad Dphrepaulezz, 25, allegedly snatched a chain necklace from an attendee of a Turning Point USA rally at the University of California-Berkley on Monday. AP“Officers determined that one of the men—Jihad Dphrepaulezz … had stolen the other man’s chain from around his neck. The other man was attempting to get his chain back from Dphrepaulezz,” a rep with the Berkeley Police Department told The Post.
Aerial footage from FOX 2 appeared to show Dphrepaulezz snatching something from a TPUSA supporter’s neck as protesters clashed with Charlie Kirk supporters.
Dphrepaulezz seemed to dash away before the man — in a red shirt reading “freedom” — chased him down.
Cops try to separate the two brawling men. APThe brawl went down as protesters stormed the sold-out event, organizers said — with the keffiyeh-clad demonstrators clashing with cops and attendees.
Turning Point USA leaders quickly blamed the bloody violence on anti-fascist agitators. Footage showed demonstrators trying to break through police barricades as the campus event for the group was kicking off late Monday.
“Antifa is breaking through police barricades and threatening our event attendees,” TPUSA Chief of Staff Mikey McCoy wrote on X.
TPUSA rep Andrew Kolvet wrote after the mayhem, “Despite Antifa thugs blocking our campus tour stop with tear gas, fireworks, and glass bottles, we had a PACKED HOUSE in the heart of deep blue UC Berkeley.”
