An unidentified man is accused of attacking Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer at a retail outlet on Saturday.
Police released photos of the man, but he has yet to be identified. Fischer, a Democrat, was not injured in the attack, however.
"Earlier this evening, while at Fourth Street Live, Mayor Fischer was punched by an individual. The Mayor is doing fine," the Louisville Police Department wrote in a statement.
"LMPD is investigating and will release further information as it becomes available," police added.
