&nbsp;
The incident occurred outside the House of Culture in the town of Handlova, approximately 150&nbsp;kilometers northeast of the capital, where the 59-year-old leader was engaged in a meeting with supporters.&nbsp;

Confirmation of the incident came from Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Lubos Blaha, who adjourned a parliamentary session until further notice in response to the news.
