A man was tackled to the ground after spraying Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) with an unknown substance during a town hall in her district on Tuesday.

A livestream of the incident showed the man standing and yelling at Omar, who was at the podium and calling for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign or face impeachment over her handling of the Minneapolis shootings. He was then seen spraying her, before he was tackled to the ground. Members of the crowd cheered as the man's arms were tied behind his back.
