SAN DIEGO, California (AP) -- A television reporter investigating a suspected real estate scam was attacked by a woman and her husband, who punched and tackled him as a cameraman videotaped the incident.
Reporter John Mattes of Fox 6 News said he was treated for cracked ribs, bite wounds and cuts to his face after the confrontation Tuesday. The couple, identified by authorities as Assad "Sam" Suleiman, 36, and his wife, Rosa Amelia Barraza, 33, were arrested.
"He had his fingers in my eye socket. He was ripping my face apart. He was pulling my ears. He was biting," Mattes told NBC's "Today" show Thursday. "It was horrifying, and it felt pretty bad."
