A woman has been charged with assault after she allegedly doused eight police officers in Vice President Kamala Harris’ Phoenix motorcade with red dye Friday to protest U.S. support of Israel’s war against the terror group Hamas.

Anasilvia Gomez-Zamora, 30, was standing on the sidewalk along the motorcade route with a group of about twenty protesters who were chanting “Free Palestine” and waving Palestinian flags, officers with the Phoenix Fraternal Order of Police told The Daily Beast. As the motorcade passed by, Gomez Zamora allegedly threw the red dye at the officers.

The dye was determined to be non-hazardous and didn’t impede the motorcade’s route. Police took Gomez Zamora into custody and she was booked into Maricopa County Jail on eight charges of aggravated assault against a police officer. She was released hours later, Simon said.

Vice President Harris was campaigning in Phoenix.
