CHICAGO (AP) - Former U.S. senator and presidential candidate Carol Moseley Braun suffered a broken wrist when a mugger tried to steal her purse, authorities said Saturday.
Braun, 59, was standing at her front door late Friday when an assailant came out of the bushes and tried to take her purse, said her spokesman, Kevin Lampe. When Braun resisted, the man pulled a knife and cut the strap of the purse.
During the struggle, Braun fell, fracturing her left wrist. She was later treated and a released from a hospital.
A student from the nearby University of Chicago came to her aid, Lampe said.
Zachary Trayes-Gibson said he had been walking with a friend when he heard screams.

I wonder if CMB believes in "Stop Snitchin'"?
Absolutely. The woman is a lame brain but she does not deserve this. Her purse and contents belonged to her, not the thief. I hope he is caught and prosecuted.
I have friends who were robbed TWICE in one weekend in Chicago.
Black on black crime exists because they are oppressed by the man.
It is a symptom of their deep seated anger after three hundred years of slavery and oppression by the white majority.
Carol Moseley Braun was a surrogate for the white oppressors, the mugger seeing the well dressed ex-Senetor in his mind saw the wealthy white oppressors and he could not hold back his seething anger.
It really wasnt his fault it was the fault of three hundred years of dead white guys oppressing the black man.
End psycho-babble rant.
See how easy it is to come up with this cr@p.
It she had been a pistol packin’ Mama, she might not have broken her wrist hanging on to her purse. I am surprised she didn’t roll if she fell!
Understood.
To the matter at hand. I remember a courtly Republican politician referring to Carol Mosely-Braun. "I will yield to the gentle and gracious lady". No, he was not being sarcastic.
I will follow his example. We can "knock em' down and drag em' out" in politics. Carol is a big girl. In this matter, I hope they catch this abominable coward. She did not deserve this, no matter how unpleasant her views. Kudos to the person who intervened. What if he was a Republican? LOL
Tell me how that black ‘yout’ was put down by whitey and should be ‘understood’ now, Carol.
Hmmm... Has anyone seen the latest whereabouts of the three Duke Lacrosse players?
Serious crimes, you know, should be prosecuted! Perhaps they should take DNA samples..
Wasn’t there also a scandal involving an African national she was dating that was involved in bloody tribal politics back home? Something like a former war criminal, cleaned up and acting as a DC lobbyist, tied in with one of those drugged child/cannibal armies? And massive unpaid phone bills from calling back to Africa? I think she tried to pull a string or two for him.
I know, it sounds like one of those black helicopter conspiracy nut stories, but was the Clintoon years. After Ms. Mosley-Braun lost her reelection campaign Old BJ shipped her off to be ambassador to some little country that had never done us any harm, Luxembourg or new Zealand or something, got her out of the papers and pumped up her resume. Now the lickspittles in the media can call her Madame Ambassador whenever she gets a headline in the “local” section.
Does Imus have an alibi? /s
“Bush’s Fault”
Yep, if they just hadn’t cancelled that midnight basketball program.....
LOL! As usual.
Boy, there were sure a lot of really clueless people involved with that, weren’t there?
Probally an ‘addict’ that needs treatment, understanding, and government subsidy for life.
I don’t care....
