NEW: RFK Advisor Chased, Assaulted By Pro-Palestine Protester
A crazed leftist protester is facing criminal charges after allegedly assaulting a senior advisor to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the United Nations earlier this week.
The incident occurred around 2 p.m. Thursday Patricia Schuh, 62, allegedly shined a bright light in Sara Kennedy’s face while yelling “Free Palestine!” and pro-LGBT. She then proceeded to chase Kennedy around the lobby, according to a report from the New York Post.
Kennedy — who is not related to her boss — “ran to the bathroom then a bathroom stall to avoid Patricia but she followed her into the stall and scratched her right eye, possibly with her phone or jewelry,” sources familiar with the incident told the outlet. She was treated by emergency services personnel at the scene and refused hospital treatment.
Schuh, who allegedly filmed the incident on her phone as it occurred, has been charged with assault and harassment, The Post reported.

She was arraigned on the charges Friday night and released because the charges weren’t bail eligible, according to a spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
A statement released by a spokesperson for the secretary’s office states that Kennedy endured a “harrowing assault …at the hands of a pro-Hamas leftist radical at the United Nations.”
“Sara has endured a lot over the course of the past three days,” the spokesperson added.
When asked for comment at her apartment in New York City, Schuh told The Post that she could not discuss the ongoing case. “I can’t say anything because of the legal situation,” she told the outlet. “I would, if I could, but I can’t.”
Secretary Kennedy was at the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan on Thursday for a conference on combatting the spread of communicable diseases. The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly kicked off on September 9, and has been marred by near daily pro-Palestine protests.
About 60 protesters were arrested Tuesday near the U.N. in a protest that included more than 150 demonstrators ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address.
