A man climbed on stage and tried to stab U.S. Congressman Lee Zeldin on Thursday as he gave a speech in his run for New York governor, the candidate and authorities said.

Zeldin was unhurt and his attacker arrested.

"His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were 'you’re done'," the Republican politician tweeted, thanking attendees including fellow politician Alison Esposito for help.

"I'm ok ... fortunately, I was able to grab his wrist and stop him for a few moments until others tackled him."

Monroe County Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect as David Jakubonis, 43, of Fairport. The motive was unclear.

Video footage posted on social media by witnesses showed a man wearing a black baseball cap quickly approach Zeldin from the side of the stage at the rally in upstate New York.

Zeldin pushed the suspect away before both men tumbled to the ground as several others tried to subdue the suspect.

"Political scores should be settled at the ballot box, not on stage at campaign events trying to violently attack candidates you disagree with. This is not ok," said Zeldin, who represents New York’s 1st Congressional District.

ASSAULT CHARGE

Jakubonis, who is charged with second degree attempted assault, had a weapon in his hand and swung it towards Zeldin's neck, the sheriff's office said in a statement.

Members of the audience and Zeldin's campaign team restrained Jakubonis until deputies arrived and took him into custody, the statement added. The suspect was arraigned in Perinton Town Court and released on his own recognizance.

Blade-wielding 'drunk military vet' who screamed 'you're done' before trying to stab NY gubernatorial hopeful Lee Zeldin at Rochester campaign rally is charged with attempted assault
A weapon, which appeared to be a pair of brass knuckles with two blades affixed, was recovered from the scene. The weapon featured a cat's face with the words: 'Made in the USA' written across it.

That blade was made from hard plastic, it has since emerged, although authorities said it is just as strong and sharp as a metal equivalent.

Jakubonis was arraigned at Perinton Town Court and charged with attempted assault in the second degree. He was released on his own recognizance.

It's New York. That says it all. Kinda like saying "California".

Didn't we have one or two RW Californians who always whined about their state? Move dummies. Duh.
 
Another step towards fascism. They are now attacking their own party members that are not "loyal enough". And I do mean "they", the Republicans rallied to get Jakubonis out of jail immediately.

I expect the WSEs will murder Americans sometime between now and the election. I expect both Left and Right Wing drunks, nutjobs and enemy agents to also commit violent acts killing Americans.

It's impossible to keep turning up the heated rhetoric without it boiling over at some point.

Your constant flow of homoeroticism aside, Trump is everything I've posted about him: a pedophile, a traitor and a betrayer of both his oath and the hundreds of his fans he fucked over by throwing them under the bus.
