Silverman got attacked (Video)

CityNews' Peter Silverman Attacked During Story Shoot
Wednesday February 7, 2007
You wouldn't think being a TV journalist would be hazardous to your health.

But then, you're not Peter Silverman.

For the past few months, the CityNews ombudsman has been probing the case of a King St. West optician alleged to be selling counterfeit frames bearing the mark of some famous companies.

The Silverman Helps team has received numerous complaints about the product and so Peter went back to the store on Wednesday afternoon to shoot the next segment in this long running series.

And that's when the trouble began. As Peter tried to enter the store, the man inside recognized him and came out swinging.

Cameras captured him taking several swipes at the reporter, opening his door near Silverman's face, hitting him with some papers and then throwing snow at him

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hit you? Did I hit you?" he's heard asking sarcastically.

Silverman is now 75 years old but managed to give as good as he got, defending himself with his fists clenched.

His irate attacker then retreated back inside, locking the door and refusing to come out when police arrived.

The standoff lasted several hours before the Emergency Task Force finally coaxed him out. He's been placed under arrest.

The tough as nails Peter survived the onslaught and emerged relatively unscathed.

The suspect remains in police custody.

The entire incident was caught on tape and will be shown on the next installment of Silverman Helps on CityNews at Six airing Thursday.

I saw im at my gym at Goodlife at McCaul and Queen last week, getting ready to whoop someone ass playing squash.

He had some knee brace and was limping a bit other than that I've never seen anyone in great spirits!

Definitely a local legend! Go get 'em Pete!

How dumb can you be to assault a guy right in front of a running camera?

...no, he probably drives a VW Jetta. Nobody that looks like that would drive an Atom.
