The AAP supporters can also be seen pushing and shoving each other to get a chance to beat the man up. This assault resulted in him being having to be taken to a hospital.
Following the incident, the attacker was identified as Suresh Chauhan, a former AAP party worker and organiser of its rallies, meetings and party activities in the area.
Kejriwal was slapped during a roadshow in the national capital’s Moti Nagar area on Saturday (4 May).
Kejriwal was seen happily waiving at the crowd amidst chanting supporters and suddenly a man in a red shirt leaped up in the air and swung his army by at least 120 degrees in full force to try and belt one on the Delhi Chief Minister.
Kejriwal though displayed great reflexes and managed to partially get out of the way, which meant that his left shoulder bore the biggest brunt of the assault.
