Republican California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder was walking in Los Angeles on Wednesday when he had eggs thrown at him.
Elder was walking through a Venice neighborhood with members of his campaign team when the attack happened
Videos taken of the incident show the first egg flying through the air and narrowly missing Elder. A member of Elder’s team is then seen putting his arm on Elder’s back and saying; “We’re getting egged from behind.”
Not long after that, another egg was hurled at Elder and his team. It is not clear if Elder or his team were hit by any eggs.
Several people got physically aggressive towards Elder’s team, one woman wearing a gorilla mask appeared to slap one member of the team in the face.
Elder’s team escorted him to the waiting SUV and they left.
It is not known at this time what prompted the egging incident.
