A Secret Service agent grabbed a Time photographer by the throat and slammed him to the ground during a rally for Donald Trump in Virginia today.
The violent incident was captured in numerous videos as the photographer was trying to document a crowd of Black Lives Matters protesters, who had disrupted the event, Mashable reports.
The agent stopped the photographer, who responded, “Fuck you.” The agent then choke-slammed the photographer.

The photographer, Christopher Morris, defended himself while on the ground, kicking the agent.
As the crowd witnessed the attack, Trump told supporters, “Are we having a good time?”
Morris said he was arrested.
“I never touched him,” he told WSET reporter Annie Andersen while he was being escorted away. “I tried to show the press lead what he did to me, and I said he choked me, so I put my hand on him, and that’s when I was arrested,” he said.
