The Op link to The Intellectualist provides no further information at all.

It only says:
"We have spoken to the victim and a friend of hers who is acting as her spokesman.
Through her spokesman, the victim gave the Intellectualist permission to post additional photos of her injuries.
As more facts come to light, the story will continue to be updated."

(It then shows the entire facebook post)

From a friend on Facebook
"Last night, my friend's good friend was badly beaten in front of her (teenage) daughter while she was holding a protest sign at the Trump rally in Chicago.
Her arm was broke, her head had to be stapled and she is in terrible shape as you can imagine.
I don't know all the details of what happened yet, but I find myself wondering about his "facts"

I find myself wondering about his "facts" too.

BTW, over at The Discussionist, they're having a field day with this:
"DU is now running with two fake Trump smears/stories, one in a series they have been posting"
"Woman Suffers Viscous Beating At Trump Rally"
