Capitol police are investigating a bloody incident involving a state worker, a protester and a red heart balloon at the state Capitol.

The incident occurred shortly before 1 p.m. Monday, at the end of the daily “Solidarity Singalong” in the rotunda. The protester, Leslie Peterson, said she had come to the Capitol to join in singing “Solidarity Forever” with the group and was carrying one of the red heart balloons that have become a frequent sight at the Capitol. Peterson said she was posing for a photo when the state worker approached and popped it, apparently with a knife.

“He was stabbing the balloon,” she said. “It was disconcerting.”

She then went to retrieve the “balloon carcass,” she said, and asked the worker for his name so she could file a complaint. That’s when he shoved her into a door, Peterson said.

1. bwaaaahaaahaaaa
"Protesters at the singalong said the worker appeared to have stabbed himself during the incident."

So he popped the balloon with a knife and cut himself when he attacked the protester when they attempted to get his name.
