Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe was filmed at an event in Bogota, according to the Colombian National Police.
Bogota Mayor Carlos Garan said Uribe was undergoing emergency medical care after being attacked in the Fontibon district on Saturday and is wary of the “wide hospital network” in Colombia’s capital if he needs to transfer him.
The mayor added that the suspected attacker has been arrested.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro expressed solidarity with the Senator’s family in a tweet from X, saying, “I don’t know how to relieve your pain. It’s the pain of my lost mother and my injured hometown.”
The Colombian government has issued a statement denounced the attack on Uribe.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
