Former Sen. Barbara Boxer was attacked and robbed of her cell phone Monday while in Northern California, according to a Twitter post from her account.
Boxer, a Democrat from California, was in Oakland's Jack London Square neighborhood when someone pushed her in the back and took her phone, according to the tweet.
"Earlier today former Senator Barbara Boxer was assaulted in the Jack London Square neighborhood of Oakland," the social media post reads. "The assailant pushed her in the back, stole her cell phone and jumped in a waiting car. She is thankful that she was not seriously injured."
The statement posted to Boxer’s Twitter account said she is "thankful that she was not seriously injured."
Fox News has reached out to a representative of Boxer for additional information.
The Oakland Police Department said the robbery occurred at 1:15 p.m. in the 300 block of 3rd Street. It declined to confirm whether Boxer was the victim.
"The suspect forcefully took loss from the victim, and fled in a nearby waiting vehicle," the police said in a statement.
Sorry, Barbara. We don’t have any police officers to deal with your mugging. The department has been defunded and all our police officers have quit. we wish you the best of luck. let us know how it all works out for you. take care.
