Doula Hashi, 31, was also charged with stalking for three other visits he made to the freshman lawmaker's New York office, according to The New York Daily News. Hashi asked to speak with the congresswoman during each visit and became "violent" when his requests were denied, New York police said.

The latest charges were issued Wednesday, about one month after the NYPD arrested Hashi in connection to alleged trespassing at Ocasio-Cortez's Queens office.

Hashi was accused of spraying a fire extinguisher as officers arrived, creating a "cloud condition." Police said later that Hashi never entered Ocasio-Cortez's office.

Hashi, who was born in Somalia, was arraigned on Thursday, the Daily News noted. His bail was set at $2,500 by Judge Jerry Iannece, who reportedly warned Hashi against coming near Ocasio-Cortez and a pair of her aides again.
