Cuellar is the second Democrat in Congress to become the victim of an assailant in Washington D.C. this year, per Fox News. 

In February, Representative Angie Craig used hot coffee to defend herself in the elevator of her apartment building.

In a statement, her chief of staff Nick Coe wrote that “Craig defended herself from the attacker and suffered bruising, but is otherwise physically okay."

"Rep. Craig called 911 and the assailant fled the scene of the assault," the statement continued. "There is no evidence that the incident was politically motivated. Rep. Craig is grateful to the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department for their quick response and asks for privacy at this time."

The Metropolitan Police Department and Cuellar’s chief of staff did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
