A doorbell video filmed a man allegedly chasing a woman with a baseball bat before he attacked two staffers from the office of Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly on Monday.

The footage, shared on social media by Tom Lynch of NBC affiliate WRC-TV, shows a man with what appears to be a metal baseball bat chasing after a woman through a residential driveway.

About halfway into the 10-second video, the man seems to give up and walk away.

A short time later, Capitol Police announced that they had taken 49-year-old Xuan Kha Tran Pham of Fairfax, Virginia, into custody after two of Gerry Connolly's staffers were attacked with a baseball bat.

According to The Associated Press, one of the staffers injured was an intern who was there for her first day.
