Over the weekend, a member of Sen. Rand Paul’s staff was stabbed multiple times with a knife in broad daylight in DC.
The suspect has been arrested and has been charged with assault with intent to kill for the incident.
The incident reportedly occurred on March 25, but for some reason the news just broke Monday afternoon.
The staffer is alive. Paul and his office are praying for a quick and full recovery for the staff member.
The suspect, a 42-year-old black male named Glynn Neal, reportedly told police the “voices” in his head told him to do it.
“Federal Bureau of Prisons records show Neal was released from prison on Friday – the day before the stabbing.” Fox 5 DC reported.
“He spent nearly 12 Years behind bars for compelling two North Carolina women to engage in prostitution through the use of threats.” the outlet reported.
Rand Paul’s statement:
This past weekend a member of my staff was brutally attacked in broad daylight in Washington, D.C. I ask you to join Kelley and me in praying for a speedy and complete recovery, and thanking the first responders, hospital staff, and police for their diligent actions. We are relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested. At this time we would ask for privacy so everyone can focus on healing and recovery.
