A Department of Labor attorney was arrested in connection with a violent home invasion at the residence of one of his co-workers last week.
The victim reported a man knocked on her door on Chesapeake Street in Northwest June 5, saying he had a package to deliver.
She told police when she opened the door, the man came at her with a Taser, pepper spray and handcuffs, and repeatedly beat her in the face. Police say he also attempted to sexually assault the victim.
She was able to fight him off and later drove herself to a nearby hospital.
A few days later, police announced the suspect knew the victim and an arrest has been made.
Wednesday, News4's Mark Segraves confirmed Paul D. Mannina, a long-time attorney for the Department of Labor was arrested in connection with the incident.
He was charged with assault and burglary.
