A Donald Trump supporter was arrested for pulling a knife on a woman with small children outside Manhattan Criminal Court – where the former president is expected to be arrested to face charges in connection with his hush-money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
According to witnesses, Angelica Rucker, 39, was holding a sign that read “I’m With Trump Are You?” outside the courthouse at around 3.30pm on Monday afternoon when she got into an argument with two passers-by, a spokesperson for New York Courts.
One of the passers-by was with two small children – one of them in a stroller.
As the verbal argument continued, Rucker allegedly pulled a knife from her right side belt hip area and “began menacing” one of the individuals with the knife, the spokesperson said.
At that point, court officers – who had converged on the area to investigate the commotion – drew their firearms and ordered the 39-year-old to drop the knife.
Rucker was forced to drop the knife and she was taken into custody.
Charges against Rucker are pending, the court spokesperson said.
