During a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday, a man rushed the podium as Rep. Ilhan Omar was speaking and appeared to spray an unknown liquid at her using a syringe. A security guard quickly tackled the suspect after a brief struggle. Minneapolis police said the man was arrested and booked into Hennepin County Jail on charges of third-degree assault.

The incident triggered panic among attendees, though Omar did not appear to be injured. Defiant, she resumed her speech moments later, saying it was important to continue despite the attack. Authorities confirmed officers were already present and are investigating the substance used.
