A Massachusetts mayor and gubernatorial candidate has suffered minor injuries after a bike crash. 

The Boston Globe reports Newton Mayor Setti Warren was thrown from his bike Sunday after he hit a pothole during a ride in Stow. 

His spokesman, Kevin Franck, says the mayor was on a 60-mile training ride for the upcoming Pan-Mass Challenge. 

Warren was transported to a hospital as a precaution, and he was released a few hours later on orders to rest. 

Franck says the mayor looks forward to resume his training as soon as he is able. 

Warren, a Democrat, announced his candidacy for governor in May.
