First let me say according to a Journalist named Shaun King he said this;

Now what I want to know is why haven't DeAndre Harris attackers been arrested or have arrest warrants out for them? While some people continue to argue that he initially started it I would like to know how other than protesting and what about the other men beating him?, because the video I've seen and I am sure many of you have seen, DeAndre Harris was on the ground being beaten up while a police officer just stood there as if he was completely blind. He was also clearly outnumbered.
A judge issued the warrant for
Harris, who is accused of malicious wounding after “the victim went to
the magistrate’s office, presented the facts of what occurred and
attempted to obtain the warrant,” said a Charlottesville Police
Department release.
A detective at the department verified the accuser's story, and the judge issued the warrant.
Civil rights lawyer Lee Merritt, who is representing Harris, told
broadcaster WCPO 9 his client will turn himself in within 24 hours and
that the charge is “clearly retaliatory” after Harris and several other
activists used social media to identify the suspects. In September,
Merritt launched a crowdfunding page to identify Harris’s attackers.
Now two men, Alex Michael Ramos and Daniel Borden, have both been charged with malicious wounding for attacking Harris.
In August, The Washington Post reported
that Harris swung a flashlight and may have struck a white supremacist
who tried to spear him with the pole of a Confederate flag while he was
being attacked. It’s not clear if this is the same person who sought the
warrant against Harris.
The arrest warrant for Harris follows another protest in Charlottesville
on Saturday, October 8, organized by white nationalist Richard Spencer.
He was joined by leaders in neo-Nazi groups and the white nationalist
organization Identity Evropa.
