NEW YORK (WABC) – The man who jumped on stage and tried to attack the Republican nominee for New York governor was arrested on a federal charge Saturday.
Authorities say U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin was assaulted by 48-year-old David Jacubonis at an upstate event Thursday, but the congressman escaped serious injury.
Jacubonis, of Fairport, New York, was arrested on a federal charge of assaulting the congressman and is expected to make an appearance in court Saturday afternoon.
He was previously charged at the state level with attempted assault in Monroe County for his role in the incident, but was already out of jail by Friday morning.
