A Las Vegas immigration activist is alleging a member of Republican Senate candidate Rep. Joe Heck's staff assaulted her as she filmed him leaving an appearance.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Viridiana Vidal filed a police report against Keith Hughes, accusing him of pushing and pulling her.
Vidal says she received a bruise on her right leg.
The alleged incident happened as Heck was exiting a meeting with the group, Hispanics in Politics.
Vidal is a former Telemundo journalist who now works for the pro-immigration reform group, America's Voice. She was one of about 20 activists filming him and surrounding his vehicle.
Campaign spokesman Brian Baluta did not immediately return a request for comment Saturday.
Heck is in a competitive Senate race with Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto.
