Donald Trump apparently stopped a mugging in 1991, according to an old New York Daily News article at the time.
The original article, “Mugger’s Trumped: Donald stops attack,” written by Daily News staff writer James Rosen, is still on Philly.com, but with the title, “Trump Strikes Out Would-be Mugger.”
“I’m not looking to play this thing up,” Trump said in the Nov. 20, 1991, report. “I’m surprised you found out about it.”
In the incident, Trump ordered his driver to pull over after he saw “a big guy with a big bat” bashing another person.
An old copy of the article went viral on Reddit’s The Donald Subreddit on Wednesday.
