A sickening video is currently circulating social media showing an elderly woman be doused in paint as she reportedly attempted to dissuade protesters from damaging property.
In the video, the woman is covered in white paint as one protester appears to cover her in police tape before giving her the finger.
The protester then squares up to the elderly lady before aggressively screaming in her face. Other revelers chant “put your mask on” to the humiliated lady as she is encircled by protesters.
Portland Police picked up on the incident tweeting: “This unknown woman using a walker was confronted by the group currently outside East Precinct and paint was strewn all over her.”

“There was a separate unknown woman using a walker outside of East Precinct who attempted to extinguish a fire set by the group. The woman depicted in this photo was not using a walker,” Portland Police added in another tweet.
Another elderly woman with a walker was reportedly confronted after attempting to extinguish a fire set by the protesters. In a photo, she is seen carrying a BLM placard, but it is unclear whether it was her own or belonging to somebody else.

President Donald Trump has furiously condemned the violence taking place in Portland that has not stopped since late May, following the in-custody death of suspected fraudster George Floyd.
The Portland Black Lives Matter protests have been center of many improvised explosions as rioters attempt to damage federal buildings.
National File reported on one case from Portland where a young man was identified committing a federal crime due to a review his grandmother left on a website for the rioter gear she had bought him.
