US Congressman Henry Cuellar was carjacked in Washington DC's Navy Yard neighborhood on Monday and his car was hijacked, according to Politico, citing three individuals familiar with the situation.

The Metropolitan Police Department and the Capitol Police have not responded to requests to comment, but Cuellar's office confirmed that the representative for Texas's 28th congressional district was attacked but was not injured. 

Politico noted that Cuellar's office said the city's alert system notified residents of an investigation into a carjacking of a Honda SUV carrying Texas license plates.
