Video footage emerged on Tuesday showing the moment that a staffer for Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was brutally stabbed in Democrat-controlled Washington, D.C.

The Washington Post obtained the footage of Glynn Neal allegedly attacking Phillip Todd back in March after Todd left a restaurant with a friend.

Todd and his friend were walking out of the frame of the video when the suspect charges in and tackles Todd to the ground and begins repeatedly stabbing him.

“What the f***,” a voice on camera says before Todd’s friend rushes in to get the suspect off of him. The two men then run away as the suspect gets up and leaves in the opposite direction.

Neal was charged with assault with intent to kill using a knife, a felony. Court records indicate that Neal was released from federal prison roughly 24 hours before the attack.

Neal remains in jail while continuing to undergo “a series of psychological evaluations before his next court appearance in September” after he was deemed unfit to stand trial, according to Fox 29.

“As the parents of Phillip Todd, we would like to give an update on our son’s condition, which will hopefully answer many of the questions we’ve received,” Todd’s parents said back in March after the attack. “In return, we ask to respect our privacy and the privacy of our extended family so that we can focus on our son’s recovery.”

“He was randomly and brutally attacked by a person armed with a knife, who, according to the police report, attempted to kill him,” they continued. “The intervention of our son’s friend helped prevent the wounds from being fatal. Our son is in a stable condition, having undergone trauma surgery to address the wounds in his body. He also has a fracture on his skull, which will be treated with non-invasive neurosurgery. He is expected to make a full recovery due to his young age and good health. Our son and our family draw strength from our faith to see us through this challenging time. Phillip is conscious and alert and has repeatedly stated, ‘the joy of the Lord is my strength’ (Nehemiah 8:10).”

Country star Jake Owen celebrated being nearly two years sober on Monday with a series of posts. He opened up about the decision to stay away from alcohol and shared that “life is so much better” without it.

In a series of Instagram Stories, the 41-year-old country singer sent a message to those who might be thinking about not drinking anymore as he explained that he’s found that a sober lifestyle is just better for him overall.

“689 days ago, I made a decision,” Owen wrote. “I’ve stuck to it, and I’m really proud of myself. I was not at a point where I had a drinking problem, I was just being an a**hole and being a person I didn’t want to be.”

Good times y’all!!! https://t.co/5VtZzwt0sr

“Trust me, there’s [probably] someone reading this that I affected in my days of being an idiot and I can never take that back … I said things I shouldn’t, as well as did things I would never do sober,” he added. “I had to own up to those instances and the ONLY thing I could do was be a better person going forward.”

“I just want to encourage any of you that might be considering quitting drinkin that you should!” Owen continued. “Life is so much better. Sleep better. Feel better. Be better. Shoot … I’ll be your supporter. I’ll cheer you on.”

At the end of his posts, he shared a link to an Andrew Huberman’s Lab podcast with the episode “What Alcohol Does to Your Brain, Body and Health.”

He encouraged those who might be ready to turn away from alcohol that the podcast had “some awesome information on why alcohol is terrible for you in general.”

In 2022, the “Made for You” hitmaker talked about his path to sobriety and said that he made the choice to not drink after embarrassing himself after “drinking too much alcohol one night,” the outlet noted.

“317 days ago I embarrassed myself after drinking too much alcohol one night,” Owen wrote at the time. “It wasn’t the first time, either. The next day, I told myself, ‘Never again.’ I am better than that, and the people I love the most deserve better. My family, my little girls and my friends.”

“Just wanted to share my journey in case anyone woke up this morning and wants to make a change,” he added. “None of us aren’t perfect … I’m just trying to be the best version of myself these days.”
