Hansen was reporting undercover when he was spotted and recognized. He left the area to change his appearance.
It started with a press member recognizing me, he proceeded to get on his phone to show a group of Black Bloc what I believe to be my Instagram.

I fled and changed my disguise, and returned once they had arrived at a different location. pic.twitter.com/RfcfFMdopm
He was told by a militant to "stop misrepresenting" himself. It was after he had changed that two men looked at him, he reports, and addressed him by name. Another pointed him out on social media, altering other agitators to his presence.
As officers can be heard to tell people to leave the area, the men can be heard saying Hansen's name.
As I was standing on the corner two suspicious men were looking at me and talking amongst themselves, they walked by and directly addressed me by my name.

He reports that it was after this that he attempted to leave the area without incident. Only a few blocks away, however, four individuals in Black Bloc were waiting for him.
Hansen states that they beat him, punched him, kicked him, and left him bloody. They yelled at him to "stay out of Portland b*tch!"

These people who commit assaults on the free press are claiming to be peaceful protestors.
Hansen is an independent journalist and founder of #BabyLivesMatter.

Bloodied and bruised his face
Truly despicable that this is happening in America
It was earlier in the night that Hansen was covering the protests in riots that have been raging more than 100 nights in Portland. Hansen reported that Antifa militants marched on the transit police station.

And caught arrests on camera on what was the 103rd night of rioting in that city. Hansen reported that Antifa tried to break his camera, before later moving on to beating him physically.
