An armed man was arrested Thursday night outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center hosting a vote check after police received word of an alleged plot to attack the area, new report said.
The bust came after police were warned about a group of people from Virginia heading to the conference hall in a Hummer with a possible plan to strike, WPVI detailed.
At about 10:50 p.m. a man inside a Vietnamese café over the center was arrested.
Police recovered a weapon and found a Hummer. It’s as yet indistinct if the man arrested outside the center is associated with the supposed assault plot.
Election workers inside the downtown convention center are actively tabulating mail-in ballots in the battleground state.
As of late Thursday night, President Trump led the state by about a razor-thin margin of 24,000 votes with 94 percent tabulated.
More mail-in ballots in Pittsburgh’s Allegheny County also need to be counted.
Trump’s campaign earlier Thursday tried unsuccessfully to halt Philadelphia’s vote over allegations that his supporters weren’t being allowed to monitor the tallying of mail-in ballots.
