Florida man caught on camera spitting on man wearing MAGA hat

A Florida man was caught on camera assaulting and spitting on a fellow restaurant patron wearing a MAGA hat, according to a report.

Matthias Ajple, 43, was arrested and charged with battery for the Oct. 25 attack at Hurricane Grill & Wings in Vero Beach, according to WPEC.

Ajple had walked around the bar and told Robert Youngblood, 67, “You should go back to Russia, you f–king communist.”

Ajple then smacked the head of Youngblood, who was wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, the surveillance video shows.

“It was stunning,” Youngblood, who was sitting with two pals at the bar, told the outlet. “We all went ‘what the heck just happened?’”

The attack didn’t end there, as moments later Ajple pops back into the camera frame from behind a railing and spits directly onto Youngblood.

Ajple then fled in his car, but not before Youngblood managed to jot down the suspect’s license plate number.

Authorities tracked Ajple down and charged him with battery.

Despite the scare, Youngblood said the attack won’t deter him from wearing his hat out in public.

“I will never stop wearing my hat that I believe represents what I believe,” he told WPEC.
