A Washington, D.C. judge has announced the man accused of stabbing a staffer to Senator Rand Paul is not mentally fit to stand trial.
Glynn Neal allegedly stabbed one of Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) staffers as they and a friend were leaving a restaurant in the city’s H Street Corridor neighborhood.
The staffer was stabbed multiple times in the head and chest, suffering life-threatening injuries, but survived. Neal was charged with assault with intent to kill. (RELATED: Rand Paul Staffer Stabbed Repeatedly, Suspect Apprehended)
According to reports from The Hill, during last week’s hearing, Neal’s sister told detectives that he “acted different” since being released from prison, including talking to himself.
Last week, Judge Anthony Epstein ordered a psychological evaluation. According to police reports, Neal said he “heard voices” encouraging him to commit the attack.
Neal will undergo further psychological testing and will be evaluated again before his next court appearance on Sept. 8. He will remain in jail in D.C.
