Senator Rand Paul’s return to Washington may be delayed after he suffered five broken ribs in an assault at his Kentucky home, media reported on Sunday. Police in Bowling Green arrested one of the senator’s neighbors who is accused of tackling him from behind at Paul’s home. The Bowling Green Daily News, citing an arrest warrant, said Paul told police his neighbor came on to his property in a gated community just east of Bowling Green and tackled him. Paul was mowing his lawn at the time of the attack, television station WAVE-TV in Kentucky reported. The suspect is a retired physician, the Bowling Green Daily News said.
