A man charged with attacking two congressional staffers with a metal baseball bat is being held pending an initial court appearance.

Police said the man is suspected in a separate attack a short time earlier Monday.

A video recorded on a neighbor’s home camera system at the same site shows a man with a bat chasing a woman who can be heard screaming. Dan Ashley, the homeowner, said it was “troubling to see this sort of thing happening in the neighborhood.” Last year, officers responded to a Fairfax home after a man called dispatch saying he wished to harm others, Fairfax County Police said in a statement. Pham assaulted responding officers and attempted to take a firearm, according to the statement. It said the officers sustained minor injuries.

Connolly, currently serving his eighth term representing Virginia’s Fairfax County-based 11th District in the Washington suburbs, said officers had to subdue the man with a Taser.
