Connecticut state Rep. Maryam Khan details violent attack: "I thought I was going to die"

Washington — Connecticut state Rep. Maryam Khan called for an investigation of the Hartford Police Department on Thursday, saying no one came to the aid of her and her family as they screamed for help during a violent assault last week following Eid al-Adha services in Hartford. 

"I thought I was going to die," Khan said at a news conference in the capital. "We screamed inside and outside and no one came to our aid — no security, no police, nobody." 

Khan said there were police at the XL Center, where the service for the Muslim holiday was held, when she arrived earlier in the day, and that they were doing security checks with metal detectors.
