A pro-life activist in New York City was sucker-punched in the face while doing a street interview about abortion, leaving her bloodied and requiring stitches, viral video shows.
Savannah Craven Antao, a 23-year-old reporter for advocacy group Live Action, was conducting a man-on-the-street interview in Harlem on Thursday, discussing the topic of Planned Parenthood with an unidentified pro-abortion New Yorker.
“You don’t understand the magnitude of having a child,” the woman emphatically stated a few minutes into the discussion, video shows.
“I’m not the one who admitted they would be OK with killing babies in foster care and killing children that have been abused,” Craven Antao fired back, referencing claims made by the woman earlier in the conversation.
“That’s not the point. What I’m saying is …,” the interviewee began before unleashing a combo of punches directly to Craven Antao’s face and quickly stalking away.

“Suck my d–k,” she yelled over her shoulder, the footage shows.
The journalist was left with a cut on her forehead and brow, that left a trail of blood down her face and chest, according to images she shared on her social media.
Craven Antao also revealed that she required medical attention at a local hospital and received stitches for the gash.
“I was just assaulted in Harlem interviewing people on the street. In cop car. Heading to hospital. Updates soon. ABORTION SUPPORTERS ARE VIOLENT!” she captioned the post, which also included video of her in the back of a police cruiser.
“My wife… was assaulted by a pro-abortion woman we were interviewing,” her husband, Henry Antao, said in a statement to Live Action. “The women became aggressive and violent upon learning Savannah’s pro-life stance.”
He said he called 911 and provided the NYPD with photos and a description of the assailant, who remains at large.
At earlier points during the street interview, the alleged attacker said “f–k the police” and stated that killing a child is better than a youngster being sent to foster care.
In the wake of the violent assault, Craven Antao blasted her assailant’s face on social media and gave an update to concerned fans.
“Bruised, but blessed,” she wrote on her Instagram Story Friday.
“I AM OKAY! I love you all thank you for the support,” Craven Altao wrote in another post.
The NYPD had no update on the investigation into the attack.
