The moment  about half an hour ago  that  Gateway Pundit blogger Lucian Wintrich  appears to accost a woman during aâ¦ https://t.co/9lTC3Lg4IE
According to the Courant  the woman appeared to have grabbed a paper from the podium where  Wintrich  was speaking.
After what appears to be a scuffle with the woman  video shows law enforcement escorting  Wintrich  out of the room with his hands behind his back.
Wintrich did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment Tuesday night. In a post about  Wintrich 's arrest  the Gateway Pundit declared that a "far left mob" had shut down the event. An update to the post stated that Wintrich was "missing" and that "police took him away and we have NO IDEA where they are holding him!" The update was later removed. The arrest came amid a raucous evening at the University of Connecticut. According to Fox 61  Wintrich's speech was met by boos and interruptions. Video from the scene shows the blogger drinking milk â which has been adopted as a symbol on the far right â while a crowd chants "go home  Nazi." After Wintrich's removal  crowds continued to congregate at the scene  and journalists there reported seeing both broken windows and smoke canisters. Campus police later announced that they had arrested one person  University of Connecticut student Sean Miller  for allegedly breaking a window as people left the lecture hall  but are still investigating the origin of the smoke bomb. "This was a very disappointing evening " University of Connecticut President Susan Herbst said in a statement. "Thoughtful  civil discourse should be a hallmark of democratic societies and American universities  and this evening fell well short of that." "We live in a tense and angry time of deep political division. Our hope as educators is that creative leadership and intellectual energy can be an antidote to that sickness  especially on university campuses " Herbst continued. "Between the offensive remarks by the speaker who also appeared to aggressively grab an audience member and the reckless vandalism that followed  that was certainly not the case on our campus tonight. We are better than this."
