"Washington — A man wielding a metal baseball bat attacked two members of Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly's staff at his district office in northern Virginia on Monday morning, according to police.

U.S. Capitol Police identified the suspect as 49-year-old Xuan Kha Tran Pham of Fairfax. He is in custody and faces charges of aggravated malicious wounding and malicious wounding. The congressman was at a ribbon-cutting event at a nearby food bank at the time of the attack.

The incident happened shortly before 11 a.m. Monday when the suspect arrived at Connolly's office, police said. In a statement, the congressman said the man "asked for me before committing an act of violence against two members of my staff."

The suspect hit a senior aide in the head and an intern, who was on her first day on the job, on her side, a spokesperson for Connolly told CBS News. Both were brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect also damaged computers and glass at the office.

A spokesperson for the Fairfax City Police Department said officers arrived to the scene within five minutes."
