"PARK CITY, Utah -- A man was arrested Friday night at a party during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, for allegedly assaulting a Florida congressman. Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost wrote on X Saturday that he was punched in the face by a man who told Frost that President Donald Trump was going to deport him. The altercation occurred at a private party hosted by talent agency CAA at the High West Distillery, a popular venue for festival-adjacent events."
"'He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off,' Frost wrote. 'The individual was arrested and I am okay.' Frost, the first Gen Z member of Congress, thanked the venue security and the Park City Police Department for their help. A Park City Police Department representative said officers arrived on the scene just after midnight. Christian Joel Young, 28, was arrested for aggravated burglary, assaulting an elected official and assault and transported to Summit County Jail, according to court records."
Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost was punched in the face at a private CAA-hosted party at High West Distillery during Sundance-week events in Park City. The assailant reportedly told Frost that President Donald Trump was going to deport him and was heard screaming racist remarks while fleeing. Park City officers arrived shortly after midnight and arrested Christian Joel Young, 28, who allegedly jumped a fence, grabbed a woman by the shoulder and used a festival pass not issued in his name. Young faces charges including aggravated burglary, assaulting an elected official and assault and was transported to Summit County Jail. A judge ordered Young held without bail as a substantial danger, and Frost said he is okay and thanked venue security and police.
