New Hampshire Woman Arrested for Assault at Warrensburg No Kings Protest

Catherine Benincasa, 32, from Manchester, New Hampshire, was arrested at the 'No Kings' protest in Warrensburg, New York, after an altercation with a man wearing a pro-President Trump hat. The incident occurred around 5:19 p.m. when Benincasa struck the man in the head with a piece of wooden molding and bit his arm, causing injury that required urgent care. Law enforcement officers present at the protest witnessed the event and charged Benincasa with second-degree menacing, third-degree assault, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. The 'No Kings' protest was part of a nationwide series of rallies opposing President Trump, coinciding with a military parade in Washington, D.C., held on Trump's birthday. Benincasa was arraigned and released on her own recognizance, with a scheduled court appearance in Warrensburg Town Court. The protest drew around 500 people in Warrensburg, with only minor disruptions and another unrelated incident reported in nearby Glens Falls.
