An officer said that he witnessed Marberblatt spitting and coughing on a protester during a protest in Swampscott, Massachusetts last month.
Alleged victim Marcus Johnson told the outlet that he was with his mom, who was holding a Black Lives Matter sign, when Marberblatt began to argue with them.
Marberblatt reportedly shouted “all lives matter” at the pair before spitting on Johnson.
Johnson was not immediately able to receive a Covid test, he said, so isolated until he could.
However, when he was tested his results came back negative.
Despite the disgusting incident, Johnson said that he plans to continue to attend BLM protests.
Multiple Trump fans were arrested last week following an attack on the US Capitol on January 6.
Rioters who posted photographs of themselves participating in the deadly attack left a trail of 140,000 images for the FBI.
