Max Blumenthal was arrested on October 25, 2019 and charged with assaulting and threatening a 58-year-old Venezuelan immigrant, Naylet Pacheco, outside the Venezuelan embassy around 3 a.m on May 7.

Below is the docket for Blumenthal’s co-defendant aka “suspect 1,” Benjamin Rubinstein (2019 CMD 006324):

Below is a brief statement from Pacheco about the alleged incident uploaded to YouTube the day after it occurred:

Below is a video uploaded to Twitter on May 8 that appears to place Max Blumenthal and Ben Rubinstein at the scene of the crime:

Blumenthal (wearing green) and Rubinstein become clearly visible at about 40 seconds in after the cameraman shouts for the police to get involved and arrest someone. Blumenthal is evidently filming or streaming with his camera phone:
