Members of the far-right group had driven to Salem from a pro-Trump vehicle rally at Clackamas Community College in Oregon City.
Coleman said:"I was carrying a Black Lives Matter sign and T-shirt and I couldn't find any of my friends. I was walking across the main area and a bunch of people rushed at me yelling slurs and firing paintball guns at me and empty rounds of something, I don't know."
"When I stood my ground finally one of them pushed me to the ground and hit my face repeatedly and kneeled on my chest with his full weight until finally somebody pulled him off." Asked how they felt about what had happened, Coleman replied:"I'm feeling like it can't be even half of the fear that Black people experience every single day and that's really scary."
Olmos later tweeted that two men were arrested for attacking the Black Lives Matter protester, but both were released from custody not long after being detained.
