Reports: Journalist, Secret Service agent scuffle at Trump rally

Things got a little chaotic at a Donald Trump rally in Virginia Monday.

Multiple reports say Time magazine photographer Chris Morris attempted to step out of the media pen to take photos, when a Secret Service agent grabbed him and slammed him to the ground.

"I'm not pressing charges," Morris told CNN. "I stepped 18 inches out of the pen and he grabbed me by the neck and started choking me and then he slammed me to the ground."

Several people captured the scuffle on video.

Washington Examiner reporter Gabby Morrongiello shared the video on Twitter showing the end of what happened with the photographer.

"This is how reporters are treated at Trump rallies," tweeted Morrongiello.

MSNBC reported that the photographer was not arrested, but was detained for questioning.
