Peter Silverman, veteran consumer affairs reporter with CityTV here in Toronto, got assaulted last week by an optician.

Silverman has done repeated stories on how the guy has allegedly been selling counterfeit frames and otherwise ripping off customers.

He went to visit Adam Plimmer of King West Opticians.

See what happens here. Here's CityTV's reaction story from Monday (no vid).

And here is the Toronto Star's take on it.
