A British member of Parliament was stabbed in the stomach Friday by a crazed constituent, the U.K. Sun reported. Labour's Stephen Timms, former senior government finance minister, was attacked during a meeting with constituents at his East Ham constituency in London's East End.
As an appointment with a 21-year-old woman ended at 3.20pm, she produced a knife and plunged it into the 54-year-old MP.
Police were called and the young woman was arrested. She is being assessed by doctors over her mental state.
Timms was taken by ambulance to the hospital. His condition is not said to be life-threatening.
