During a campaign event in Fairport, New York, on Thursday, a man reportedly attempted to stab gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).

According to local reports, Zeldin was giving a speech about bail reform at the “Unite to Fire Hochul” bus tour stop when a man went on stage, began yelling, “wrestled with him a bit, and pulled a blade out.”

Joe Chenelly, a Marine combat veteran and national executive director of AMVETS, tackled the man, along with others at the event.

Zeldin was uninjured and returned to the stage to finish his speech.

The man told Zeldin “you’re done” as he began his attack.

His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were “you’re done”, but several attendees, including @EspositoforNY, quickly jumped into action & tackled the guy.

Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes.

The weapon appears to be a self-defense keychain, though it is unclear if the suspect also had a knife.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul condemned the attack in a statement on Twitter.

“My team has informed me about the incident at Lee Zeldin’s campaign event tonight. Relieved to hear that Congressman Zeldin was not injured and that the suspect is in custody. I condemn this violent behavior in the strongest terms possible — it has no place in New York,” she said.

Hours before the attack, Hochul reportedly directed her supporters to his rally schedule, according to NY GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy.

Governor, you seemed to dog-whistle support for vigilante direct action by repeatedly calling your political opponent a "dangerous" "far-right extremist." Now a man tried to stab @leezeldin at a campaign event with a bladed knuckles device. https://t.co/g8rlXISl8R pic.twitter.com/qZHhCVGeuD

C) Langworthy: It’s not a coincidence that just hours earlier, Kathy Hochul fanned the flames of hate by directing her supporters to his rally schedule. This is unacceptable conduct for anyone, let alone a sitting governor.
