A man in New York allegedly sneaked into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district office in Queens on Saturday and hid himself in a closet after spraying a fire extinguisher.
Charges for menacing, criminal trespass, and criminal mischief are pending for 31-year-old Douala Hashi, who was convinced to leave the utility closet by building security before the New York Police Department was contacted, according to the Hill.
Hashi was reportedly holding a broken bottle after the extinguisher’s contents dissipated and was taken to the hospital by authorities for an evaluation.
Ocasio-Cortez was not in the office at the time, according to police.
