WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Angie Craig said she fought off a man last week who attacked her on an elevator before she could escape.
“He wasn’t going to let me out of that elevator if I hadn’t fought my way out,” the Minnesota Democrat said in an interview with KARE 11 that aired Monday night.
The D.C. police department said Kendrick Hamlin, 26, with no fixed address, was arrested and charged with assault, although court filings refer to him as Kendrid Khalil Hamlin. In a brief court session before U.S. Magistrate G. Michael Harvey on Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Schneider said Hamlin had 24 bench warrants for failing to appear in court. He is scheduled back in court at noon Wednesday for a hearing on whether he will be detained before trial.
After Craig told Hamlin he couldn’t, he blocked the elevator door and hit keypad buttons. When she attempted to get out, Hamlin punched Craig, and got behind her and put his hand on her shoulders and grabbed her collarbone, the report said. Federal prosecutors wrote in a filing that Hamlin is charged “with felony assault on a member of Congress where personal injury resulted,” and alleged that when officers tried to arrest him, he bit a detective and kicked an officer.
