A Westchester County legislator alleges that another candidate vying for her position got physical with her on Wednesday, and she is considering placing an order of protection against him.

Legislator Virginia Perez says that she and her opponent, London Reyes,  were at the Yonkers Democratic Convention when they got into an altercation.

"He was trying to take pictures of the votes being tallied, and we didn't know whether or not it was allowed. We told him to check with the chairman. Instead of doing that, he took his frustrations out on me,” she says.

Reyes claims the allegations are false, and says it is a dirty tactic to avoid public debate.

Perez says she filed a police report and is considering an order of protection.

Both candidates are scheduled to face off in a September primary.
