PARK CITY, Utah
A man was arrested early Saturday after allegedly punching U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost in the face at a Sundance Film Festival party while shouting that former President Donald Trump would have him deported, according to the congressman and police.
Frost, a Florida Democrat and the first member of Generation Z elected to Congress, said in a social media post that the assault occurred at a private party hosted by talent agency CAA.
The suspect, identified by police as Christian Joel Young, 28, was heard “screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off” following the altercation at the High West Distillery, Frost wrote.
“The individual was arrested and I am okay,” Frost added, thanking venue security and the Park City Police Department.
Officers responded to the scene just after midnight Friday.
Young was booked into Summit County Jail on charges including aggravated burglary, assaulting an elected official, and assault, according to court records.
