A man who approached Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) during a campaign stop and appeared to attack him while holding a bladed weapon was released from jail hours after he was arrested on Thursday evening, officials said.
David Jakubonis, 43, was arraigned on Thursday night in Perinton Town Court on second-degree attempted assault stemming from the attack on Zeldin, a Republican running for governor in New York. He was released on his own recognizance, according to local reports and officials.
