U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) was attacked in an elevator inside her Washington, D.C., apartment building, according to a statement from her office on Thursday.
“Rep. Craig defended herself from the attacker and suffered bruising, but is otherwise physically okay,” Nick Coe, her chief of staff, said in a statement. There is “no evidence” the incident was politically motivated, he said, adding that the assailant fled the scene.
The incident took place at around 7:15 a.m. on Thursday morning inside the “elevator of her apartment building” in the District, according to Coe’s statement.
Craig then called 911 before the suspect fled the scene….
