Amy Acton targeted by armed man at Ohio campaign event

Patrick Havas, 38, was arrested after allegedly lunging at Ohio Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton during a campaign event at the Canfield Fair on Sunday. While Acton and her husband, Eric, were unharmed, the incident resulted in injuries to several others, including two elderly individuals on mobility scooters who were knocked to the ground.

Authorities reported that Havas entered the Mahoning County Democratic Party tent while appearing to record the event on a cellphone before pushing through the crowd. Upon his arrest, law enforcement recovered two handguns and brass knuckles; however, investigators noted that the weapons were not brandished or removed from their holsters during the confrontation. Havas faces charges of assault and disorderly conduct.

Political leaders from both parties condemned the incident. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy both characterized the act of political violence as unacceptable. Acton, a physician and former Ohio health director, remained at the fair following the incident to assist with the aftermath.
