Minnesota-based U.S. representative Ilhan Omar is set to address reporters Wednesday after she was attacked during a town hall a day earlier when a man sprayed her with an unknown substance.

Police say the man used a syringe to spray an unknown liquid at Omar during Tuesday’s event, after she called for the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was arrested on a preliminary third-degree assault charge.

Police said Kazmierczak has a criminal history and has made online posts supportive of U.S. President Donald Trump.
