The man, wearing a white T-shirt, black bandanna, and sunglasses, approached within 6 feet of Sanders and shouted something about Russia. He was on stage for at least 30 seconds before Philadelphia police apprehended him after a brief struggle.

I'm a little concerned by how long it took security to apprehend him. What if he has been armed?

Security works to unchain a protester at a rally for John Fetterman with Bernie Sanders at Philadelphia City Hall. (Photo: Jared Gruenwald Photography, BillyPenn.com image)
The man, whose name has not been released, clambered on stage as Sanders was speaking. After tossing a chain around the railing so he was physically attached, he moved to a position directly behind the podium.
What the protester said wasnt entirely clear, though PMN reports it was something about Russia. Security staff and Philadelphia Police officers quickly jumped on the platform to shut down the disruption and then discovered the chain locking the man to the banister.
A pair of giant shears were brought in, and police worked for several minutes to cut through the metal chain. Eventually they succeeded, and the protester was led away in handcuffs.

Backpacks, large purses, books, and bottles of water were not allowed.
