A congressional staffer for Rep. Brad Finstad (R-Minn.) was reportedly attacked by an armed suspect after returning from the congressional charity baseball game last week in Washington D.C.

Finstad first revealed the attack in a Friday press statement, saying “one of my staffers was attacked outside of his residence by an armed gunman” after the game ended on Wednesday evening. The Congressional Baseball Game is an annual event in which members of Congress from the Republican and Democratic parties compete while raising money for various charitable organizations.

Finstad’s staffer reported the assault to the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and NTD News obtained a copy of the incident report.

Finstad’s initial press statement did not name the congressional staffer who was attacked, but the MPD report did identify him as Tyler Dunn.

The police report states that Dunn was returning home at around 3 a.m. on Thursday morning after the game. Two males wearing black hoodies reportedly pushed Dunn to the ground and pointed a black handgun at him. The police report states Dunn was the target of a simple assault and the perpetrators had the intent to rob him of his possessions but Dunn managed to run away and did not give the suspects any of his possessions.

No shots were fired and the MPD arrest report does not classify the incident as a possible hate crime.

Finstad said his staffer will be able to make a full recovery from the minor physical injuries sustained during the attack. The congressman thanked MPD “for their quick response and their attention to this incident” but criticized the “soft-on-crime” policies in Washington, D.C.

“In Washington, D.C., and cities across the country, anti-police, soft-on-crime policies have created lawless societies that endanger the public and empower criminal behavior,” Finstad said.

“It’s time we started treating criminals like criminals and bring back commonsense policies that imprison career criminals, keep the public safe, and allow our police officers to adequately protect our communities and keep violent criminals off the streets.”
