Knee injury puts Pressley on sidelines for several days

US Rep. Ayanna Pressley

US Rep. Ayanna Pressley canceled her district events for Tuesday and Wednesday after injuring her knee tripping on the stairs in her home Monday.

The Democrat had planned to hold a “Transportation Equity Agenda Forum” in Chelsea Tuesday night, and her office said it is working to secure a new date, time and location for the forum.

Lina Francis, Pressley’s communications director, said in a statement that the office “will be sure to relay any additional scheduling changes.”
Francis said Pressley “received treatment and is grateful to the doctors and nurses who provided her with high quality care.”
