According to Valle, several men surrounded her before Paul arrived at the event in Lexington last night.
"They surrounded me," she said. "There were about five of them, they started motioning to each other, and they got behind me."
According to Valle, her partner, whom she identified as Alex, overheard the men threaten "we're here to do crowd control and we might have to take someone out."
"Rand Paul's car arrived, and as soon as it did, a couple of them stepped right in front of me and so I stepped off the curb to get around them, back out to the front, and at that point they started grabbing for me and I ran all the way around the car with them in pursuit, and the point at which they see the footage is after I've run all the way around the car and am in front of the car and that is when they take me down," Valle said.
As you can see from the footage...one or two people twisted my arms behind my back and took me down. I got into the [inaudible] position to protect myself and it was about two or three seconds after that that another person stomped on my head. I lay there for 20 seconds or so and then my partner Alex came and got me up and that's the point at which there's that media clip that is out of me speaking.
Valle said that about five minutes elapsed before the police arrived, at which point the attackers were gone. But she was questioned for about an hour nonetheless.
"The person that stomped me, I recognized him from other events. There are a few men that I know initiated the, sort of, the round up...that premeditated it."
