A Connecticut resident is among the hundreds of people who were injured when three bombs went off at a Brussels airport and train station on Tuesday.

The resident’s injuries are not considered life-threatening, according to Rep. Jim Himes’ office. The resident is one of Himes’ constituents; Himes represents Fairfield County.

“We can confirm that one of Congressman Himes’ constituents received non-life threatening injuries in the attack. In consideration of the family’s privacy concerns, that’s all we can release at this point,” his office said in a statement.
