Hunt eventually said, “It’s a baby, if someone is raped and she gave birth and decided to kill her three year old child -,” and that’s when he kicked her.
Hunt then shouted “I meant to kick your phone.”
According to the police statement, after that he grabbed a ribbon that was on her and ripped it off before running.

The police report also describes another assault Hunt committed against a pro-life activist back on August 2. He approached a group of pro-life activists, tried to grab one of their signs and then pushed a woman into a pole. Hunt then fled the scene as well.
Prior to the arrest, Hunt was fired from his job at a hair salon, Nobel Studio 101.
