A man walked up to Rep Ilhan Omar at a Minneapolis town hall on Tuesday night and sprayed her with an unknown brown liquid from a syringe. Security tackled him within seconds. Now, forensic scientists are trying to work out what was in it.
Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, shouted at the Minnesota congresswoman before dousing her with the substance at the Urban League Twin Cities facility. Officers already at the event arrested him on the spot and booked him into Hennepin County Jail on suspicion of third-degree assault, per the Associated Press.
