FAIRPORT, N.Y. (1010 WINS) — A man rushed the stage and pulled out a sharp object before he was subdued at a gubernatorial campaign rally for Congressman Lee Zeldin on Thursday.
Zeldin was giving a campaign speech at the VFW on Macedon Center Road in Fairport when a man got on stage, started yelling, wrestled with the congressman and pulled out a sharp object, WIVB, a local television station, reported.
The Metropolitan Republican Club tweeted a picture purporting to show the object the man pulled.
Attendees reportedly restrained the man, and Zeldin continued his speech after the chaos subsided.
An anonymous witness told WIVB 4 that Zeldin was not hurt in the attack.
The congressman was recently elected to be the Republican nominee to run against Gov. Kathy Hochul in the New York gubernatorial race.
