Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) reported being the victim of a minor assault outside the Capitol Wednesday night.
The congressman told U.S. Capitol Police he was walking from the Longworth House Office Building for votes when "a random individual, unknown to the congressman, began screaming at him and grabbed his arm," according to Duffy's spokeswoman.
A spokesman for Capitol Police said they are investigating. Duffy was unharmed in the incident, according to his office.
"He reported the incident in compliance with House security procedures," Duffy's spokeswoman said. "Congressman Duffy has requested no further action be taken and there will be no further comment on the matter at this time."

Black panthers... here we go.
Things aren’t going well for the Dems and their clientele — frustration is setting in.
Could be nothing. Or it could be the first, not the last.
My money is on the community organizers are seeing what they can get away with.
They are desperate. I can make a guess as to who this was.
James Clyburn.
Let this happen to a Democrat and all hell will break loose.
Police, SS escort, black helicopters... oh, and the person who did it would never see daylight again.
Did he have on a MickeyD shirt?
$15.00 to protest. Wonder what the going rate is for assaults?
The zombies are starting to wake up and are getting nervous that their supply of brainz could be shutdown.
I was thinking ‘Pink’, silly me... but I know we are supposed to be color-blind these days and embrace everyone , even those who despise us, a risky scheme if you ask me, any day.
For that reason it will not be the last. Is the $ 15.00 /hr?
Thank you Republicans for not backing down and shutting down the government!
Awesome strategy by the Republican House. I’m so happy the stupid government is shut down. maybe now Americans will realize that government is not needed as nothing is happening even though the gov is shut down. what do we need government scientists doing global warming studies? hell no! do weed IRS oppressing conservatives? NO. do we need IRS auditing Republicans NO. NSA spying on us? . The IRS can’t audit us as long as gov stays shut down. Hold the line Republicans! If walmart shut down then we’d cry but the useless gov can go to hell.
The only thing that the federal government should be doing is the military and border control.
Well the democrats are trying harder than ever before to inspire their nutjobs to violently attack republicans.
he could have recognized the guy as being mentally challenged....or drunk or drugged..
Wrong party being assaulted. I fully expect the Dems to start getting waylaid when people realize how incredible the damage is that these creeps have done to us.
>>The only thing that the federal government should be doing is the military and border control.<<
And maybe protecting congressmen when they are assaulted...
or not.
I wonder if there is a security camera video? It could show a drooling old hag with a frozen face and a very large gavel attacking him.
Time for our guys to start packin’ (mace, etc - wouldn’t want to offend the gun control crowd now would we?)
