The incident took place on Monday around 2 pm, according to police.
The boy, whose identity is unknown, was riding his biking, carrying a pro-Trump sign when a woman riding a moped passed him before taking a u-turn to confront him.
The woman reportedly told the boy, "you want something to look at?" before punching him, according to Boulder police spokeswoman Shannon Aulabaugh.
The woman, who used her closed fist to punch the boy in his head, gave him several blows.
She also scratched the boy as he fell to the floor.
