U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal suffered a broken leg during Saturday’s UConn championship parade in downtown Hartford, and he has since been discharged from the hospital after surgery on Sunday.
During the parade to celebrate the school’s national championship in men’s basketball, a cameraman was walking backward and ran into the Connecticut Democrat. They both fell on the street after the collision. Blumenthal proceeded to get back up and finish the parade route despite the injury.
The 77-year-old tweeted an update on his injury status Saturday night hours after the parade.
