District of Minnesota)(MINNEAPOLIS) — The man who was arrested after charging at Rep. Ilhan Omar during a town hall in Minneapolis has been charged by the Justice Department with assaulting a federal representative, a complaint shows.
Kazmierczak was arrested and initially booked into Hennepin County Jail on suspicion of third-degree assault, Minneapolis police said.
He has since been charged with one felony count of terroristic threats and one count of fifth-degree assault, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said Thursday.
“This was a disturbing assault on Rep. Omar, who is frequently the target of vilifying language by fellow elected officials and members of the public,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a statement.
