										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lee Zeldin a sitting United States Congressman and Republican candidate for governor in New York was attacked on stage during a campaign stop on Thursday night.</p>



<p>The perpetrator has a knife, but Zeldin was able to escape injury, <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/21/lee-zeldin-attacked-during-campaign-stop-near-rochester-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post reports</a>.</p>



<p>Zeldin was campaigning near Rochester in Monroe County at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post when he was attacked by a man wearing an Iraq War veteran hat.</p>



<p>The suspect is identified as 43 year old David Jakubonis of Fairport, NY.</p>



<p>He was released on his own recognizance after being charged with attempted assault in the second degree.</p>



<p>Joe Chenelly, who tackled Jakubonis to the ground after Zeldin began to fight with him said, “I saw that he [was] approaching the congressman, so I jumped up on the stage.&#8221;</p>



<p>Chenelly then said that, “He reached into his right pocket and pulled out what appeared to be a knife or a razor blade, maybe a boxcutter and lunged at the congressman.&#8221;</p>



<p>GOP candidate for lieutenant governor Alison Esposito, a 20-year member of the NYPD was credited with disarming the intoxicated man.</p>



<p>Zeldin stated in a tweet, “Someone tried to stab me on stage during this evening’s rally, but fortunately, I was able to grab his wrist and stop him for a few moments until others tackled him.”</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were “you’re done”, but several attendees, including <a href="https://twitter.com/EspositoforNY?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EspositoforNY</a>, quickly jumped into action &amp; tackled the guy. <br><br>Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes. <br><br>The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws. <a href="https://t.co/wZEyIyrjFe">pic.twitter.com/wZEyIyrjFe</a></p>&mdash; Lee Zeldin (@leezeldin) <a href="https://twitter.com/leezeldin/status/1550352498078130176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 22, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>In a separate incident Zeldin also tweeted that a Rochester police officer had been shot and killed.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

Prayers up for these officers, their families, and the Rochester community. We must do more to back the blue.<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f64f.png" alt="🙏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>&mdash; Lee Zeldin (@leezeldin) <a href="https://twitter.com/leezeldin/status/1550340128022863872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 22, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
