The terrifying attack took place in Handlova, a town located 93 miles north east of the country's capital Bratislava.
A suspect has been detained, according to local news station TA3, with a dramatic video showing the moment they were arrested.
A loud commotion can be heard, as police officers can be seen swarming the alleged attacker while sirens can be heard blaring in the distance.
Robert Fico has served as the Slovakian PM since 2023, after previously serving from 2006 to 2010 and again from 2012 to 2018.
He has recently come under fire for oppposing NATO membership for Ukraine.
His government has long opposed giving military aid to President Zelensky and his troops, and has bizarrely claimed that life is "normal" in Kyiv.
