New York Democratic Rep. Grace Meng was hit over the head and robbed Tuesday night while walking home from a restaurant in Washington, D.C.

Meng was returning to Eastern Market, where she lives while in the District, when she was hit in the back of the head. The attacker took her purse as she was falling and ran away, according to Meng’s office. The incident took place at 6th Street and Pennsylvania Ave. Northeast.

“While this was a frightening ordeal, I fortunately was not seriously injured,” Meng said in a statement. “Obviously, things could have been much worse. I thank the U.S. Capitol Police and the District of Columbia Police for responding quickly and professionally.”

According to Meng’s office, her injuries include a bruised chin. She had a CAT scan at George Washington University Hospital.

The incident is under investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police and Metro Police, and no suspects have yet been identified, according to WJLA.

Meng has returned to her normal schedule as of Wednesday evening.

Too bad it wasn't a Knockout Game photo-op, but at least the attacker didn't hit a part of her which might have caused serious injury.

Unapologetic and UNFORGIVEN.

Are all slightly injured mugging victims rushed to a prestigious hospital and immediately administered a CAT scan?

The thing is ? she can’t escape the truth that it’s Holder’s and Obama’s yoots that are doing this..... or is she going to believe her lying eyes as the liberal media would want her to do ?

Now had she pulled on him and blew a friggin hole the size of man hole through him, I’d be interested in reading about it. But since as a communist infiltrator and enabler of black crime, she got was coming to her.

Her attacker must have thought she was a white woman. She is Chinese-American.

To get proper police protection one would need to open up a donut shop on every corner in D.C.

Goes to show that blacks are the real racists if they only see white color as of only white people.
Most asians from the north are of the same skin tone as most white people.

Me bet is that she’s lying.

First off, She’s a Dem from NY. So that’s about 80% of my statement right there.

She said some telling words: “It could have been worse”. I think she’s going to warp this around to be an anti-gun message. “Could have been worse... What if he had a gun?”

“It could have been better.” Oh? “I could have had a gun.”

It’s time to liberate DC!
