The attack on the ex-premier took place at the seminary as he reached the podium to address the audience. As soon as Sharif reached the dais, the suspect jumped and hurled the shoe at the former premier, which hit his shoulder. The shoe-attacker and his two accomplices were taken into by security staff and handed them over to the police.
The attack, however, did not deter the former prime minister from making a speech and eulogizing the seminary for its services for the religion and the country at large.
