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.
Her alleged assailant, who has a long criminal history in the D.C. area, made a federal court appearance earlier Monday on a charge of assaulting Craig in her Washington D.C. apartment building.
