Fox News
A Virginia man suffering from schizophrenia that is accused of attacking staffers of Democratic U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly was arraigned in court Tuesday to face charges.
The four counts include aggravated wounding and malicious aggravated wounding in the attack at Connolly's district office in Fairfax, and counts of felony destroying property and misdemeanor hate crime for an episode less than an hour earlier, when police say he hit a car windshield with the bat and chased a woman after asking if she was white.

Connolly, now in his eighth term, said an intern working her first day on the job was struck in her side and an outreach director was hit on the head. Both were released after hospital treatment.
