Knife-wielding Trump supporter taken away from NYC courthouse in cuffs
A Donald Trump supporter was arrested Tuesday after allegedly pulling a knife on two passersby – including a woman with two young children – outside the Lower Manhattan courthouse where reporters have been gathered in anticipation of the former president’s possible indictment.
The 39-year-old blonde — who was waving a neon-yellow sign that had “I STAND WITH TRUMP DO YOU?” scrawled in blank ink — got into an argument with the pair of onlookers around 3:30 p.m. outside Manhattan Supreme Court, officials and law enforcement sources said. NYS Court Police officers spotted the escalating fight, pulled their guns and hauled the blade-wielding woman into custody, according to state Office of Court Administration spokesman Lucian Chalfen. The knife appeared to be a box cutter, according to photos.
The dust-up took place just feet from the press pen set up not far from the building where a grand jury has been hearing evidence tied to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump, 76. A court spokesman ID’ed the woman as Angelica Rucker. She was charged Wednesday with criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and three counts of harassment, Chalfen said.
