Tim Todd, the uncle of Phillip Todd the Rand Paul staffer who was stabbed in the head and stomach on Saturday in broad daylight in Washington DC issued a heartbreaking update on his nephew.
Tim said: “Update on my nephew Phillip Todd: Abdomen surgery went well this morning. There was damage to his spleen and some leaking in other areas. Please continue to pray for damage to the abdomen area, skull, brain, collapsed lung, etc.
“Doctors are concerned about possible seizures for the next month resulting from the deep knife wound to the head. Phillip is resting well.”
Phillip Todd is the Chief Economist for the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. He began working for the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship in January of 2021.
The suspect is an ex-con with a violent past who was released from prison the day before the attack.
According to The Chesapeake Today:
Glynn Paul Neal was convicted in D.C. Superior Court and sentenced on September 8, 2010, on assault on a police officer and threats to do bodily harm. The sentence was 180 days in jail.
Glynn Neal violated the terms of his parole for his conviction in 2011 for compelling an individual to prostitution against their will, threatening to kidnap, and injure.
Glynn spent nearly 12 Years behind bars for pimping two North Carolina women through the use of threats. Neal confessed to the crime. “A voice said that someone was going to get him for all the things he had done. So he was waiting there to get the someone,” police say he told them.
Paul said: “This past weekend a member of my staff was brutally attacked in broad daylight in Washington, D.C. I ask you to join Kelley and me in praying for a speedy and complete recovery, and thanking the first responders, hospital staff, and police for their diligent actions.
“We are relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested. At this time we would ask for privacy so everyone can focus on healing and recovery.
