TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —
A Fox Network news anchor was arrested and accused of hitting another journalist with his car in an apparent dispute over a parking space.
Witnesses told police that Shepard Smith, who hosts “The Fox Report,” ran his car into Maureen Walsh, a journalist for a local cable network, when she tried to save a rare open parking spot for co-workers at the Capitol complex where the media are covering the Florida presidential vote recount.
Walsh was treated at a hospital for bruises on her legs and released.
Smith, 36, was charged with aggravated battery with a motor vehicle and released on $10,000 bail.
A Fox spokesman in New York, Robert Zimmerman, declined to comment.
