Supreme Court Justice David Souter suffered minor injuries when a group of young men assaulted him as he jogged on a city street, a court spokeswoman said Saturday.
The attack occurred about 9 p.m. Friday, court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.
Supreme Court police took Souter, 64, to a Washington hospital, where he was examined and released about 1 a.m. Saturday, Arberg said. She did not detail his injuries except to say they were minor.
Souter was not robbed, Arberg said.
She gave no other details about the assault, or about any police investigation or arrests.

I don't presume there was anything particularly political in the attack, but it makes one think just how close we are to a reversal of Roe v. Wade and a whole host of other decisions.
