Attendees at the last night of the Republican National Convention were assaulted and accosted by a large crowd of demonstrators as they left the White House on Thursday night.
Footage from the streets surrounding Pennsylvania Avenue showed one white-haired man being punched in the back of the head and later knocked to the ground by a mob of activists who also threw water over him.
Meanwhile RNC committeeman Chris Ager and his wife were repeatedly abused by a balaclava-wearing protester who threatened to 'f*** you up' as they tried to get into the doors of their hotel.
Hundreds of activists had gathered outside the White House to protest Trump's nomination acceptance speech, trying to drown it out with air horns and fireworks.

RNC committeeman Chris Ager and his wife were confronted by a balaclava-wearing woman who swore at him and asked 'how do you feel about the deaths of black people in America?'
As Ager tried to get into the front doors of his hotel, which were locked, the woman threatened to 'f*** you up' after he apparently touched her
While demonstrations started peacefully things grew progressively ugly as the night wore on, with attendees forced to run a gauntlet of angry activists as they tried to leave the event.
Footage showed some scuffles breaking out between police officers and protesters, some of whom aimed punches at officers who drew batons in response.
Senator Rand Paul was also accosted by protesters who almost pushed him to the ground as he left the White House, after shoving a police officer into him.
However, multiple videos showed no police protection for attendees who were surrounded by group of aggressive protesters.
In one piece of footage, a bus carrying RNC attendees pulls on to a street that has been blocked by activists before attempting to turn around.
Protesters jump on the vehicle, hanging off its side mirrors while others run behind as it tires to back up, preventing the driver from doing so.
A second piece of footage taken from behind the vehicle then shows demonstrators pulling the back door of the vehicle open, while heckling those inside.

Protests had begun at midday in Washington DC, with a rally outside Amazon owner Jeff Bezos's mansion demanding a $30 per hour minimum wage.
Demonstrations then moved to the streets around the White House from 7pm, with DJs and bands playing in an attempt to drown out the RNC.
During the convention itself, which lasted from 9pm until 11pm, protesters let off fireworks and blared air horns which could be heard in the background of Trump's speech as it was broadcast on TV.
Scuffles initially began between the activists and a smaller number of counter-demonstrators leading to two arrests, according to DCist.
But as the convention finished the disturbances became more widespread. It is unclear if there were any further arrests.
Against the backdrop of the protests, Trump's speech painted a stark choice for voters this November: a second term for himself or voting for Joe Biden, who he claimed would 'demolish' the nation.
'Despite all of our greatness as a nation, everything we have achieved is now endangered,' the president warned in his acceptance speech, given on the South Lawn of the White House.
Rand Paul was also among those who were confronted by protesters while leaving the RNC, with demonstrators surrounding him while police held them back

'This is the most important election in the history of our country. At no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies, or two agendas.'
'This election will decide whether we save the American Dream, or whether we allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny,' he said.
And he ended his remarks with the same message.
'I say again to all Americans: This is the most important election in the history of our country. There has never been such a difference between two parties, or two individuals, in ideology, philosophy, or vision than there is right now,' he said.
His speech ended two weeks of conventions - first Democratic, then Republican - which presented two diametrically opposed versions of a country gripped by the coronavirus pandemic, racked by a reckoning on racial justice, and hit by mass unemployment on a scale unknown since the 1930s.
Democrats called Trump's administration a time of 'American darkness,' while Republicans said Biden would bring anarchy; Democrats focused on the virus and unemployment, and Republicans on 'crime and violence.'
The end of the conventions marks the dash to the finish line, with the first head-to-head debate on September 29, giving Trump and Biden a month to focus their message and deal with the challenge of campaigning in a pandemic.
While demonstrations started out peacefully with a street party, scenes turned ugly as the night wore on, with multiple confrontations recorded on the streets

all these white women approving of all this violence, theft, arson is appalling.
All these, "white women," don't approve of violence. That is why they are protesting. The protestors haven't killed over 1000 people in a year, and exponentially more beaten and rights taken. Yet our law enforcement does that every year. We can't have a lawless law enforcement and expect otherwise from our citizens. Our law enforcement is just the biggest gang in America. They kill more people per year than all gangs combined. You go, white women. Stop the violence.

Oh, look--here's some more of those rambunctious peaceful protesters that the Dimocraps are always talking about. Of course, if this was the Dim convention, they'd be white supremeicist racist Nazi Hitler-loving Jew-hating international terrorists. But it's the Repubs, so it's all good.
