WATCH: Conservative activist bloodied and bruised at pro-trans rally in Canada: ‘Police did nothing’

Yesterday, Billboard Chris, a prominent conservative activist, was attacked by transgender activists at an anti-transgender rally in Vancouver.

Although police did appear to stop the assault immediately after it started, the conservative activist claimed that Vancouver PD “did not” do anything to stop the militant trans rally-goer from attacking him.

He also spoke with one of the officers who was monitoring the rally on that day. He argued that both sides were to blame, challenging the conservative’s claim he was peacefully protesting the transgender rally.

Billboard Chris, who is actually Chris Elston, shared intense footage of several fights that took place between him and rally-goers at a common green in a Vancouver neighborhood that day.

Elston’s initial video captured Elston as he debated with one rally-goer and joined an ally videographer friend. As this was happening, pro-trans activists began to make physical contact with them. While Billboard Chris attempted to get through to his ally by pushing on, one activist stopped him and told him to “Absolutely do not touch me.”

Another activist, who looked like she was a transgender woman, ran up to Elston and began scribbling on his face with a pink marker. Chris said, “Oh, here’s the deal,” and added, “I’m already getting painted on.”

The camera suddenly jerked violently, suggesting that Elston was being pushed out of frame or hit by someone. He could be heard saying, as it happened, “Been there five seconds, and already I’m getting assaulted.”

Elston asked his friend after the end of the first physical confrontation, “Oh, are I bleeding already?” He replied, “Yeah. You got a scratch.” Additional footage later posted showed Elston with a cut on his bridge of his nose, which is likely the injury Elston was referring to in the video.

The second clip from Elston’s rally that day shows a far worse attack by the pro-trans people. It is much clearer. The activist was seen being attacked from a third person perspective.

Elston was recorded by a friend standing before the activists to answer questions from independent journalists about his time at the rally. A trans woman approached Elston and started berating him loudly as he spoke. F– you. F–you, you’re not needed. F– you. You are a f—ing idiot. F– you!”

Elston tried to speak out about that day’s experience, but the “F—- you” chant grew louder, and activists began surrounding Elston, adding their voices to the chorus of profanity.

The curses intensified until they were screaming in Elston’s face. Elston kept his cool and grabbed his phone to record the crowd. At that point, the first heckler shot his arm at the conservative’s throat. Then he swung his other arm at his head.

Elston was seen falling to the ground while the billboard signs that he had attached to his body were thrown to the ground. Police were unable to deescalate the situation after Elston was attacked violently.

The activist posted a video of the incident to Twitter. He claimed that it was “another angle of the attack on me today.” The police did nothing. Police did nothing.

Elston posted a follow-up post: “I need to sue VPD [Vancouver Police Department]”. I must. It’s unacceptable that our children are being assaulted and that police who allow violence and anarchy to continue can’t be continued. It’s a strange day. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Elston can be seen talking to an officer on duty about the attack in more footage that the activist posted to Twitter. She accuses her of allowing the activists “assault people with no consequence.”

The video shows the female officer telling him that the situation between him, the activists and “seemed like consensual fighting” and that both were to blame.

Despite Elston’s protests, the officer attributed some of the blame to him. He said, “Chris. I saw you get very near to people.” Dan Dicks, an independent journalist, asked the officer: “Excuse us, did you just tell him he came to incite violence and force his opinions on people?” She responded on camera, “Yes.”

Fox News Digital reached Elston to get more information about his alleged assault on that day. He has not yet responded.
