An upstate New York perpetrator allegedly punched a stranger inside a supermarket for wearing a Donald Trump costume just days before Election Day, authorities said.

Robert Yott, 60, is accused of confronting a supporter of the former president for wearing a Trump 2024 hat at Tops Friendly Markets around 10am on Friday. Bath Village Police said.

Yott then allegedly punched the stocking victim in the mouth and head several times, causing a bloody mouth and broken teeth, police said.

The village police department said the alleged attack “appears to be a random act of violence.”

Yott was arrested and booked with second-degree assault, a felony, and fourth-degree criminal mischief, Bath police said.

Yott is known in the community as the local author of a pair of military history books, the Wellsville Sun reported.

The village of Bath has a population of about 5,500 people and is located in Steuben County, which has twice as many registered Republican voters as Democratic voters, according to state records.

Yott did not immediately return an email seeking comment Sunday night.

Political tensions in the US are high ahead of Election Day on Tuesday as Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris battle it out to be named the next president.
