Man Harasses Students Outside Danbury High School with Trump Sign: Mayor

DANBURY, CT - City officials are looking into a video that allegedly shows a man harassing students coming out of Danbury High School on Friday, holding a Trump sign, according to media reports.

Mayor Mark Boughton said the matter is being investigated by school and police officials after videos of the man began popping up on Twitter, NBC Connecticut reported. He appeared to be holding a Trump sign as he shouted at the students.

The suspect was allegedly on school grounds to pick up a relative and also got into a physical fight with a student, according to NBC Connecticut. He can be heard in the video telling people will be out of the country due to being “illegal.”

Police are currently debating whether or not to file charges against the man, the Danbury News Times reported. While officers and school officials agree the man's behavior was inappropriate, they have also noted that he was on school grounds legally.

The suspect did not press charges against the student who punched him, according to the Danbury News Times. The man has already been informed by the school's principal that he must get permission from the principal’s office before he is allowed on campus again.
