WATCH: NY Republican gubernatorial candidate attacked with blade at rally

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, the Republican nominee for New York governor, was assaulted by a man who apparently tried to stab him at an upstate event Thursday. Zeldin only suffered “a little scrape” and his attacker was quickly subdued.
