YAF members chased by two event protestors

Six people involved with the MSU Young Americans for Freedom’s speaking engagement Friday were chased by two suspects wielding sticks, bats and canes following the event, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said. The two suspects, who were protesters at the event featuring the chairman of the British National Party, followed the six people from the engagement to the Wharton Center’s parking ramp, beating their weapons on the ground and yelling threatening comments, McGlothian-Taylor said. A female employee saw the incident and tried to separate the two groups, McGlothian-Taylor said. There was no physical confrontation between those involved.
