"Driving the news: 28-year-old Christian Joel Young allegedly assaulted Frost and an unidentified woman at a bar in Park City, where the festival is held annually, according to a probable cause affidavit. Young allegedly told Frost and the other patron "we are going to deport you and your kind" before yelling a racial slur and punching Frost in the face, the affidavit says. Young did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
""Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face," Frost said Saturday in a post on X. "He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident.""
"A Park City PD spokesperson said in a statement to Axios that officers "determined that Christian Young unlawfully entered a private party after previously being turned away for not having an invitation" and "assaulted" Frost and the other patron. The Sundance Film Festival said in a statement to Axios that they "strongly condemn" the incident, which they said "occurred at a non-Festival-affiliated event.""
