Sen. Rand Paul was attacked at his Kentucky home Saturday and police took a neighbor into custody, authorities and witnesses said.

Kentucky state troopers arrived at Pauls Bowling Green home about 3:20 p.m. on a report of an assault.

Officers arrested Rene Boucher, 59, who neighbors said lives next to Paul and has been locked in a feud with the senator.

Sen. Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault, said Pauls Kentucky Communications Director Kelsey Cooper. The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police. Sen. Paul is fine.
