The teen - who has been identified only as Alex and was protesting the Trump rally - got blasted by pepper spray that is held just inches from her face. She was apparently shouting 'black lives matter' before things got heated

Girl, 15, was protesting outside a Trump rally in Janesville, Wisconsin
She was shouting 'black lives matter' when things got heated
Asked a Trump supporter why he was at the rally if he was a 'grown man'
Seconds later someone from behind him pepper sprayed her in the face
Trump (pictured) was in the swing
state for a town hall event Tuesday evening, ahead of Wisconsin primary
voters casting their vote next week
A
young girl was pictured getting pepper sprayed directly in the face
while protesting outside a Donald Trump rally in Wisconsin, say
witnesses.
The
event in Janesville was attended by thousands of pro-Trump supporters
Tuesday - but things got heated during an altercation between a man and a
teenage girl, who was protesting.
Shocking
pictures show the teen - identified only as Alex - getting blasted by
pepper spray that is held just inches from her face.
About 1,000 people were allowed inside the conference center to listen to Trump speak while another 1,000 remained outside
A
video shows the young girl - who has short blonde hair and glasses -
shouting something at a man who is out of shot, after which she appears
to reach out and try to push him.
But
within seconds a hand is seen reaching into frame and she is pepper
sprayed. The girl's face gets covered in the orange spray and she
staggers away, wiping her face as she goes.
The fifteen-year-old was there to protest Trump and began arguing with a man who supported the Republican candidate.
Janesville Police Chief David Moore told Wisconsin State Journal the girl was sprayed by a man standing with 19-year-old woman from Madison, who also was struck by the spray.
Both received medical attention at local hospitals, say police.
The girl claimed that the man who she appears to take a swing at had groped her.

Dan Crandall of Milton - who says he was punched by the girl (right) - said she got upset after people shouted at her: 'All lives matter'. The girl - known as Alex - says he groped her, but he denies this

But Dan Crandall of Milton - who says he was punched by the girl - has denied this allegation.
In
a video filmed after the incident, Crandall said the she had been
shouting 'black lives matter', while a lot of people around her were
shouting 'white lives matter', and she apparently got upset
He
said: 'She challenged me, saying 'why are you at a Trump rally if you
are a grown man' and I replied that that was exactly why I was at a
Trump rally - because I am a grown man and I want to make this country
great again.'
He added that the supporters had been 'warned not to make contact with protesters'.
Outside the rally, protesters lined
the streets waving banners with slogans including 'No hate in our
state', 'All men are created equal. Don't drink the hateraide Trump' and
'Dump Trump'
About
1,000 people were allowed inside the conference center to listen to
Trump speak while another 1,000 remained outside, said the Journal.
Crandall
then claimed that the girl starting 'screaming in his face' and as the
crowd around her got more heated, she swung a punch at him, he says.
'Shortly after that a man standing behind me got her with pepper spray', he said.
The
Republican candidate - who has been accused of inciting violence at his
rallies - was in the swing state for a town hall event Tuesday evening,
ahead of Wisconsin primary voters taking to the polls next week.
Meanwhile one woman wearing a burka held a sign that read 'Why do you hate me?
While supporters wore Trump's trademark red cap and hoisted signs with the slogan 'Make America Great Again'
Outside
the rally, protesters lined the streets waving banners with slogans
including 'No hate in our state', 'All men are created equal. Don't
drink the hateraide Trump' and 'Dump Trump'.
While supporters wore Trump's trademark red cap and hoisted signs with the slogan 'Make America Great Again'.
Meanwhile
one woman wearing a burka held a sign that read 'Why do you hate me?',
which seemed to point towards one of Trump's policies to ban Muslims
from entering America.
The
incident comes just hours after Trump's campaign manager was arrested
for battery after a reporter claims he grabbed her arm.
Breitbart
reporter Michelle Fields filed a police report against Corey
Lewandowski and tweeted a photo of bruises on her arms, which she says
were caused by him.
But
the Donald today launched into a theatrical display at the rally,
mocking the female reporter and saying her claims had 'changed
big-league'.
