Los Angeles City Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez was back at work Monday after suffering a seizure and collapsing in her office at City Hall last week, it was reported Monday.

Rodriguez — who represents the northeastern San Fernando Valley — had a seizure in her office on the fourth floor of City Hall, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded and took Rodriguez to the LA County-USC Medical Center, according to the Times. She was treated for minor scrapes and bruises.

Rodriguez’s office could not immediately be reached for more details.

The councilwoman won a second term on the City Council during Tuesday’s primary election, with the latest results showing her with 68.18% of the vote.
