EXCERPT:
GINGRAS: "That video is showing Representative Lee Zeldin, of course, there on the stage, talking in front of that crowd, when that man, he was someone in the audience, according to police, he walks up and then swings his arm toward Zeldin’s neck before the congressman grabs his other arm and then others sort of tackle him to the ground, restraining him, actually, until authorities could get there. Zeldin says that man tried to stab him. Police identified that alleged attacker as 43-year-old David Jakubonis. They say he had a weapon in his hand and allegedly said, 'You’re done,' as he approached Zeldin. Jakubonis is charged with second-degree attempted assault. He’s been arraigned and, as I said, he’s already out of jail on his own recognizance with that felony charge. Luckily, no one was hurt and Zeldin did return to finish his campaign speech. I want to read part of what current governor Kathy Hochul, his opponent in this upcoming race, said. She said, 'I condemn this violent behavior in the strongest terms possible. It has no place in New York.' So we’re still looking into sort of who this person might have been, maybe the motive behind it, trying to reach out to his attorney, but, yeah, certainly scary there to see that happen in front of this campaign — you know, on the campaign trail, right there in front of that crowd, guys."
