A Trump administration official was harassed and followed in the United Nations during the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday, according to Fox News Digital.

The assailant shone a bright light at the official's face, which was later determined to be a camera flash from the assailant's filming of the incident, and began verbally harassing the official.

The incident 'felt very political'

The verbal harassment allegedly included pro-Palestinian comments and accusations that the official was a “fascist” and “nazi.”

According to the official, as she attempted to escape the situation, she was followed into the women’s restroom, where the insults and recording continued as the assailant attempted to push her way into the official’s stall.
