Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was rushed by a man last night
as she was speaking at a town hall event.
He used a syringe to spray her with a liquid.
NPR's Barbara Sprint says the attacker was grabbed and arrested.
Footage from the event shows a man approaching Omar and spraying an unknown substance in her direction.
He was swiftly tackled by security.

After a brief pause and comments from her staff asking her to step aside to get checked out,
Omar continued her remarks.
This comes on the heels of another attack on a lawmaker,
Democrat Maxwell Frost of Florida, reported being punched by someone at the Sundance Festival.
