A Minnesota man accused of attacking Representative Ilhan Omar at a bustling town hall event had tipped off his neighbour days earlier that he 'might get arrested' at the gathering, court records and witness accounts reveal. The cryptic warning proved chillingly prescient.
Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, allegedly charged at the congresswoman on Tuesday evening as she stood at the podium advocating for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to police and eyewitness testimony, he sprayed an amber-coloured, foul-smelling liquid from a syringe in her direction before being tackled and removed from the Urban League Twin Cities venue in Minneapolis.
