Sept. 11 (UPI) -- A California man shouted profanities about President Donald Trump before attempting to stab a Republican candidate for Congress at an outdoor festival, police said Tuesday.
Farzad Fazeli, 35, was arrested Sunday at the Castro Valley Fall Festival in Northern California. Police said he approached GOP congressional candidate Rudy Peters "in an aggressive manner and made disparaging remarks about his political party and elected officials." Fazeli then attempted to stab Peters with a switchblade, but the knife malfunctioned.
