Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man accused of ambushing and shooting two National Guard troops near a Washington, D.C., Metro station last year, has been hospitalized after refusing to eat in jail.
During an emergency hearing Thursday, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said Lakanwal is being treated at George Washington University Hospital after “refusing food and, in some cases, water,” according to The Washington Post. His health “has deteriorated quite substantially and he is in dire circumstances,” Mehta added.
