The suspect then allegedly stepped out of the car and punched the picketer in the face before returning to his vehicle and entering the parking lot, police say.
The victim suffered minor injuries and was treated and released from a local hospital.
Englhieberth Smith is charged with assault causing bodily harm in connection with the incident.
