The 55-year-old, identified by police as Anthony Kazmierczak, was tackled to the ground and arrested. Omar was not injured.
Omar, a Democrat, was calling for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be abolished and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.
Kazmierczak was sitting in the audience and ran up to her, spraying her with a substance and yelling, the complaint says.
