The suspect, 50-year-old Alan Swinney, was hit with assault and several weapons charges for allegedly training a revolver on anti-fascist protesters during the clashes on Aug. 22, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Video posted to Twitter allegedly shows Swinney, wearing all black with a black helmet and pads on his body, pointing the weapon at the protesters outside a courthouse in the city.

Swinney was arrested a day after President Trump, when asked at the first presidential debate to denounce right-wing extremist groups, told members of the Proud Boys to \u00e2\u0080\u009cstand back and stand by.\u00e2\u0080\u009d
