NEW YORK CITY (LifeSiteNews) -- Pro-life journalist Savannah Craven Antao has been assaulted by an abortion supporter during a street interview.

During an April 3 interview on the streets of Harlem, New York, Savannah Craven Antao, a pro-life journalist working with Live Action, was attacked by a pro-abortion woman during street activism exposing the truth surrounding Planned Parenthood.

"You don’t understand the magnitude of having a child," the abortion supporter told Craven Antao in video footage published by Live Action.

“I’m not the one who admitted they would be okay with killing babies in foster care and killing children that had been abused," Craven Antao responded.

“That’s not my point," the women replied before lunging at Craven Antao and punching her repeatedly in the face, knocking her to the ground.

The woman advanced on Craven Antao, apparently for a second attack, but was blocked by Craven Antao's husband, Henry Antao, who was working as the cameraman.

"I intervened to protect my wife, and we immediately called 911," Antao told Live Action. "The police arrived, and we provided them with the assailant’s photo and description. We hope justice will be served soon.”
