An Ohio man accused of running Republican Rep. Max Miller off the road while brandishing a Palestinian flag turned himself

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) said Thursday he contacted the Capitol Police after being "run off the road" by a man displaying a Palestinian flag while he was driving in his congressional district. Why it matters: The alleged incident comes as lawmakers are still reeling from the shooting of two Minnesota state legislators and their spouses last weekend that left one couple dead and another hospitalized.

Police in Ohio said on Friday they had arrested a man after he allegedly ran a U.S. Congressman off a road, threatened the politician and his family, and yelled antisemitic slurs and waved a Palestinian flag before fleeing.
