The incident occurred while he was jogging at about 9 p.m. Friday, said Kathy Arberg, a court spokeswoman.

Another source told CNN the incident happened near his home.

Arberg said Supreme Court police escorted the justice to Washington Hospital Center. He was examined and released at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning.

He sustained "minor injuries" and is "feeling fine," Arberg said.

She could not characterize the nature or motivation for the attack only that several young men were involved.
