Washington — A man sprayed Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar with an unknown liquid at a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday, but she appeared to be OK and declined to immediately leave the event to get checked out.

The man was immediately apprehended.

Omar, a Democrat, was calling for the abolishment of ICE and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign when a man sitting in the front row rushed up to her and sprayed her with a substance while yelling at her.

Security personnel grabbed the man, who was led out of the room in handcuffs, while other staff tried to get Omar to leave.
