MSNBC doxxed congresswoman who was assaulted in her DC apartment

MSNBC aired the unredacted address of the Minnesota congresswoman who threw hot coffee to defend herself against an assailant in the elevator of her apartment building in Washington, DC, on Thursday, according to a report.

MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson devoted a segment to covering the assault on Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) during Thursday’s edition of “Hallie Jackson Reports.”

Jackson, who described the incident as “disturbing,” interviewed the cable network’s Capitol Hill correspondent, Ryan Nobles, according to the news site Mediaite.

During the segment, Jackson told her viewers that the network obtained the police report.

“Our team has gotten the police report in the last hour,” Jackson said. She then read from the report which described the attacker as “acting erratic as if he was under the influence of an unknown substance.”

As Jackson read from the report, MSNBC posted a copy of the police report which included Craig’s unredacted address. The police report was shown to viewers for at least 15 seconds, according to Mediaite.

Nobles told viewers that the 50-year-old Craig “appears to be okay, at least physically after this attack.” He noted that the congresswoman was spotted on Capitol Hill that day.

“She was already back on the job after what happened, so that is definitely a good sign,” Nobles said.

The Post has sought comment from MSNBC.

An aide to Craig wrote that she called 911 and the assailant fled. There is no evidence that the attack was politically motivated, according to Craig’s office.

Investigators told MSNBC that the attacker was a homeless man “who found his way into the elevator with Congresswoman Craig, puncher her in the chin and grabbed her around the neck.”

Baby-faced suspect stabs, bites teen in NYC subway melee over vaping: cops

The city’s latest subway crimes include a teenager being bitten and stabbed by a baby-faced suspect when the victim confronted a group of people vaping on a Brooklyn platform, cops say.

Two days earlier, a trio of creeps also mugged a 21-year-old man of his cell phone as he waited for an F train in Queens, authorities said. 

The bitten 19-year-old victim had been waiting for a C train at Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday when he clashed with six people who were vaping nearby, authorities said. 

The young-looking suspect, shown in surveillance images released by the NYPD on Sunday night, then knifed the victim in the torso and bit him on the forearm, cops said.

The victim was taken to Interfaith Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition. 

Photos show the assailant wearing a black jacket over a red hoodie and black pants. 

Last month, three creeps mugged a man of his phone in Queens, authorities said.

That victim was standing on the platform at the Parsons Boulevard station in Jamaica Hills around 8 a.m. Nov. 21 when the group surrounded him, punched him in the face and grabbed his phone, video released by the NYPD shows.

64-year-old NYC man savagely beaten with rock in subway attack

A 64-year-old man was beaten with a rock in a brutal attack on a Brooklyn subway platform this weekend, cops said.

Intazar Dar was on his way home from work when he was randomly attacked at the Avenue H station in Midwood just before 1 a.m. on Saturday, according to police.

Dar told ABC’s Eyewitness News he works as a security guard in lower Manhattan and first noticed his alleged attacker mumbling loudly and pacing onboard the Q train.

When the train pulled into the Avenue H station, the victim said the shirtless suspect got off and started arguing with him.

The suspect then jumped onto the tracks, grabbed a rock, and pulled himself back onto the platform.

Surveillance footage released by cops showed the unidentified suspect shoving Dar on the platform as the victim tried to approach the turnstiles.

The suspect then allegedly bashed Dar in the head repeatedly with the rock, causing him to lose consciousness, according to police.

His alleged attacker was caught on video fleeing the station and cops said they are still trying to track him down.

“This is the first time it’s happened in my life in New York City, but now I’m scared,” Dar told the outlet.

“It’s been two years since I’ve been doing my job — I don’t have any problem with this place … now I see a lot of homeless people – they make me scared.”

Dar was taken to Maimonides Medical Center where he was treated for head trauma and later released.

After the horrifying experience, the victim is now fearful of the New York streets.

The victim said he still suffers from swelling to his head and will likely have to take at least a week off work to recover.

Police described his alleged attacker as a male in his 30s, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighing about 170 lbs with brown eyes and black hair.

Footage shows man fatally beat senior citizen in Seattle: cops

A Seattle man released from jail in July after allegedly threatening to kill a transit cop now faces murder charges over an unprovoked, caught-on-tape fatal assault on a senior citizen.

Video allegedly shows Aaron Fulk, 48, strike 66-year-old Rodney Peterman with a metal pole in broad daylight Aug. 2 at Pike Street and Third Avenue, according to KOMO News.

Fulk kept striking Peterman after the older man collapsed unconscious, fracturing his skull, according to police.

Aaron Fulk is being held on $2.5 million bail.

A good Samaritan is seen in the video attempting to stop the attack but was too late. Peterman succumbed to his injuries four days later, the Seattle Times said.

“I apologize for not being there one more club strike earlier,” said Loren Page, who came to the victim’s aid, to KOMO News.

The alleged assailant — who had prior run-ins with the law in Idaho — was arrested in nearby Pierce County in July for threatening to kill a cop, according to reports.

A judge there opted to release him despite prosecutors’ request he be held on $10,000 bail, KOMO News said.

Fulk is currently being held in King County on $2.5 million bail, the report said.
