Minnesota Congresswoman Assaulted in Her D.C. Apartment Building
Police said the suspect started randomly doing pushups in the elevator before assaulting the congresswoman.
On the same day the House voted to overrule the District of Columbia’s criminal reform that relaxed punishments for violent offenders, a Democratic congresswoman, Angie Craig, was assaulted in her apartment building by an unknown assailant.
“This morning around 7:15 a.m., Rep. Craig was assaulted in the elevator of her apartment building in Washington D.C.,” her chief of staff wrote in a statement. “Rep. Craig defended herself from the attacker and suffered bruising, but is otherwise physically okay.”
