Andrew Duncomb, 25, is known for his vocal support of the Confederate flag and monuments, and regularly films demonstrations across the country under the moniker "Black Rebel."
Duncomb told The Oregonian newspaper that he arrived in Portland last Friday to cover the protests that have been happening in the city nightly for more than two months.
The protests that started as Black Lives Matter demonstrations morphed into anti-Trump gatherings when the president sent federal agents to the city in early July to quell the unrest.
Where is the outrage for the stabbing of Andrew Duncomb?????????????????????
Duncomb, a Trump supporter, told The Oregonian he came to the city to "show that it wasn't just the feds creating the problems."
Early Saturday morning, shortly before 2:30 a.m., he and some friends noticed a man following them, so he passed his camera to a friend and confronted the man, he said.
The video shows Duncomb going up to the man, wrapping his arm around the man's shoulders, and asking: "Hey buddy, why are you following us?"
The rioters have rioted for months.
Police have identified the suspect as Blake David Hampe, 43, according to The Oregonian. He was arrested at the scene on charges of second-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.
Duncomb believes he was targeted for his politics, and that locals were tipped off to the fact that he was covering the protests.
"I was stabbed for being a conservative journalist," he told The Oregonian on Wednesday.
Duncomb said he plans to return to filming protests.
The person who stabbed Andrew Ducomb is Blake David Hampe. Hampe is White.
