MEMPHIS -- A scuffle between a filmmaker and a U.S. Congressman from
Tennessee is caught on tape.
Congressman Steve Cohen, who is running for re-election, held a press
conference in his Memphis home Wednesday when the altercation started.
Peter Musurlian is making a documentary about the election and entered
the home trying to interview the Congressman.
That's when the two got into an argument and Cohen shoved Musurlian
out of the house.
Musurlian says he plans to file assault charges Thursday.
The filmmaker, who is Armenian, is upset that Cohen didn't support
a Congressional referendum recognizing the killing of 1.5 million
Armenians in the early 1900s as genocide.
