Kentucky Senator Rand Paul was assaulted by a 59-year-old man inside his own home in Bowling Green, Kentucky on Friday afternoon, according to police officials. The senator reportedly suffered a minor injury.

“FBI is involved making sure it wasn’t politically motivated,” says Trooper Hodges, Public Affairs Officer, Kentucky State Police.

Kentucky State Police have arrested the senator’s assailant, identified as Rene Boucher, 59, of Bowling Green for intentionally assaulting Sen. Paul inside his home, causing minor injury, according to WBKO.com.

Boucher was arrested and charged with one count of 4^th degree assault – minor injury. He was taken to the nearby Warren County Detention Center.

It’s not immediately clear what sparked the assault, but an investigation has been launched by local authorities.

Officials for Sen. Paul’s office say that the former presidential candidate did not suffer any major injuries.

“Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault,” Kelsey Cooper, a spokeswoman for Paul, said in a statement to The Hill. “The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police. Senator Paul is fine.”

As of Saturday afternoon, he was being held in the Warren County Regional Jail on a $5,000 bond.
