An anti-gay preacher known for his “You Deserve Rape” message was hit over the head with a baseball bat during one of his hate sermons this month.

Brother Dean Saxton was using a megaphone to preach his beliefs outside of Apollo High School in Glendale, Arizona, when he was reportedly attacked from behind by 19-year-old Tabitha Renee Brubaker.

Saxton was recording his sermon on his phone, shouting that gay students were going to hell and that Muslims were “dirty,” while several students and teachers approached him to peacefully denounce his words and try to get him to leave.

It was during one of these moments that Brubaker came up and hit Saxton with the bat, causing him to need eight staples in his head.

Saxton’s recording on his phone doesn’t show him getting hit, but you can clearly hear the moment of impact on the video of the incident that he posted to YouTube.

He also posted a bloody photo of himself on Twitter after the attack with the caption, “If you think the gay community accepts and tolerates others, just wait till they hit you over the head with a metal bat.”

Burbaker was arrested and charged with felony assault after the attack.

You can watch Saxton’s video below, with the assault taking place around the 17-minute mark.
