A Trump supporter was stabbed in the back outside President Donald Trump’s midterm rally in Chillicothe, Ohio, on Wednesday night while the president was on stage speaking to the crowd at the Shoemaker Center on the Ohio University Chillicothe campus.
Video posted by Derek Myers shows the victim with a knife still protruding from the left side of his lower back as police officers rush to detain a person nearby.
The stabbing is not shown in this video, which is of the immediate aftermath.
Another witness video captured the fight and stabbing, which appears to have happened as police were attempting to break it up.
It is unclear how the fight began.
The Scioto Valley Guardian confirmed that police detained one individual.
Officials had not released the victim’s condition, the identity of the person detained, any charges, or confirmed any details about the incident as of late Wednesday evening.
The report notes that police had removed protesters from inside the venue earlier in the evening.
Tyler Bowyer of Turning Point Action, whose founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a Utah college campus, shared the video and wrote that “some crazy anti-Trump lunatic stabbed a Trump supporter.”
“This is more of the insane political violence stoked by the Left,” Bowyer added. “Pray for the person who was stabbed.”
