The man who attacked a US representative in an elevator earlier this year has been sentenced to over two years in prison.
Rep Angie Craig, a Democrat from Minnesota, was in her Washington DC apartment complex on 9 February when 26-year-old Kendrid Khalil Hamlin followed her into the building’s elevator and trapped her there before attacking. A judge sentenced him to 27 months in prison followed by 36 months of supervised release, according to a press release from the Department of Justice.
