DENVER — Two people suspected of throwing glass objects and a Nazi salute at three women who were heading to a pro-immigrant rally at the Colorado State Capitol earlier this month have been arrested by police.
The bias-motivated attempted assault occurred on Feb. 8 at around 3:05 p.m. around E. 10th Ave. near Lincoln St., according to a Denver Police Department spokesperson.
The victims — three women who were walking toward the rally and march against immigration enforcement — told police that two suspects in a pickup truck yelled “white power” and "Nazi power” at them and threw glass objects in their direction before driving away as one of the suspects inside the car reportedly displayed a Nazi salute.
The incident, which went viral on TikTok, can be viewed in the video below.
The victims reported the incident to police the following Monday.
During the investigation, the suspects were identified as 48-year-old David Halverson and an unnamed boy, whose identity will not be released because he is a juvenile.
Both were arrested Tuesday on three counts of attempted bias-motivated crime with bodily injury, police said.
Final charges will be determined by the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
