'Proud' White Man crashes party at Sundance Film Festival, Punches Congressman, Gets Arrested

Man Arrested at CAA’s Sundance Party Following Racially-Charged Assault of Florida Congressman​

After an investigation, [Park City police] arrested Christian Young and determined that he “unlawfully entered a private party after previously being turned away for not having an invitation. Once inside the saloon, Young assaulted Florida Congressman Maxwell Frost and a female who was attending the private event.”

Around midnight, Young went into the restroom where he allegedly began causing a disturbance in a racially-charged scene that shocked other men using the facilities when Young allegedly stated how proud he was to be “white.” The tense moment continued as Young then exited the restroom and allegedly punched a person of color, later revealed to be Frost.

Hours after The Hollywood Reporter broke the story, Frost took to X to state that he was the man who was assaulted. “Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay,” posted Frost, who represents central Florida and Orlando in District 10. “Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident.”
