New York republican candidate attacked on stage by man with ‘bladed’ knuckleduster
The Republican candidate for New York governor was assaulted by a man who apparently tried to stab him while on stage.
Lee Zeldin was addressing a Veterans of Foreign Wars post near Rochester when the incident occurred, with footage showing a man stepping on stage with a knuckleduster before getting dragged to the floor.
A Monroe County sheriff’s spokesperson said that a man, David Jakubonis (43), was arrested and charged for attempted assault in the second degree after the attack. He has since been released without bail.
