The assault began outside the Portland Police Central Precinct building and is captured in videos published by the&nbsp;<em>New York Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Ngo is a major target for Antifa in the Portland area. Rioters first assaulted him as he covered their actions in May 2019, Ngo wrote in a&nbsp;<em>New York Post<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/06\/antifa-almost-killed-me-but-i-wont-stop-reporting-their-dangerous-deeds\/\">article<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThere was already a bounty on my head,\u201d the journalist reported. \u201cThe threats increased throughout the year as I systematically documented who was arrested and charged at every riot. I posted their photos and evidence of their ties to Antifa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A suspect in the 2019 assault and robbery of Ngo at a Portland gym, John Hacker, confronted him once again on May 28, 2021, he stated. \u201cI recognized him right away,\u201d Ngo said. In October 2021, a Multnomah grand jury indicted Hacker for the felony robbery in 2019. The case is still pending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that night, Hacker\u2019s question signaled to me that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/07\/finally-portland-antifa-is-being-brought-to-justice-for-its-violence\/\">Antifa&nbsp;<\/a>had grown suspicious of me. I was undercover again, dressed head-to-toe in black like the Antifa militants around me\u201d Ngo\u2019s story continues. \u201cAs before, I knew it was extremely dangerous to be on the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>A short time after Hacker questioned Ngo\u2019s identity under his Antifa gear, Ngo walked away and was later confronted by another group of fully uniformed Antifa rioters.<\/p>\n<p>The new Antifa group \u201cfollowed me after Hacker questioned me,\u201d Ngo stated. \u201c\u2019Why did you look so nervous tonight?\u2019 asked one of the men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He responded that he suffered anxiety. An Antifa member then said, \u201cI think it\u2019s him,\u201d Ngo noted.<\/p>\n<p>Ngo took off and the Antifa group gave chase. Video surveillance shows the chase through the Portland streets with no police in sight. Ngo pieced surveillance videos in addition to video shot by Antifa members.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Ngo described the moment when the group caught up with him and unmasked him to confirm their capture:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I immediately began walking north, towards the AC Hotel by Marriott. It was the only thing open. Everything else was closed and boarded up. With my heart racing, I could see the shadows of the Antifa following me.<\/p>\n<p>After two city blocks, I made it to the front of the hotel lobby doors \u2014 but they were locked. Behind me now was the group of Antifa. And they surrounded me. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you take off your mask?\u201d one of them asked. I didn\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, one of the Antifa forcefully grabbed at my face. In one swift motion, he pulled off my goggles and mask. \u201cIt\u2019s Andy! Get him! Get him!\u201d he screamed as I took off sprinting for my life. They pursued me, and one was so close I could hear him breathing.<\/p>\n<p>I was tackled at full force to the concrete ground. The full brunt of both my body as well as the person who tackled me was absorbed by my left knee. The impact on the brick floor shredded my skin as I slid. I tried getting up, but the Antifa held me until some of his comrades caught up. One of the men sprinted at me and began punching my face, head and body until I collapsed on the ground. He then put me in a hold.<\/p>\n<p>In that moment, all the adrenaline left my body, and I couldn\u2019t breathe. Those who had been baying for my blood for two years had me in their literal grip.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ngo said another journalist stepped up and distracted the Antifa attackers \u2014 allowing Ngo to escape. Ngo then ran to the Nines, a downtown Portland luxury hotel, and entered the lobby. He pleaded with the hotel staff to call 911, but they refused. As a growing mob of Antifa rioters began beating on the doors and windows demanding that he come back out on the street.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Portland police officers finally arrived and escorted Ngo out the rear of the hotel to await Portland Fire and Rescue medics. An ambulance transported Ngo to the Oregon Health and Science University emergency room where doctors treated his injuries from the brutal attack \u2014 the same hospital that treated him following the 2019 attack, Ngo said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Antifa members online were desperately searching for the hospital where he was taken. Ngo left Portland for four weeks after the attack, \u201cmoving from safehouse to safehouse,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Ngo tweeted that Portland police did not interview any of the suspects he identified as participants. He said Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt filed no charges in this matter.<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/06\/antifa-almost-killed-me-but-i-wont-stop-reporting-their-dangerous-deeds\/\">full article<\/a> by Andy Ngo at the&nbsp;<em>New York Post.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/author\/bob-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/author\/bob-price\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1583344635394000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFbc5T2NTdEL9_YFsQbXuOF3xOKVQ\"><em>Bob Price<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;serves as associate editor and senior news contributor for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1583344635394000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHrdMnYOa5wlYK9eCiMk9vHw1BGNg\">Breitbart Texas-Border team<\/a>.
