Al Sharpton Shoves Fox News Reporter in Baltimore (VIDEO)

MSNBC host Al Sharpton and Fox News reporter Leland Vittert got into it when Sharpton became annoyed with Vittert's incessant questions posed at Democratic Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

Leland Vittert was attempting to ask the mayor about a source who alleged that she ordered police to stand down during the riots on Monday, according to the Huffington Post.

Sharpton planted himself in front of her, and remained silent as Vittert became noticeably impatient.

"Why can't we ask questions?" he asked repeatedly. "We can't ask questions?"

"You will have the opportunity," Sharpton said.

Sharpton assured him that he would have a chance to ask his questions at an upcoming press conference, but the reporter didn't back down.

Vittert replied with, "Then you'll answer our questions?"

After Vittert continued to push for answers, a second man reportedly stepped in between the mayor and Sharpton.

Sharpton threw up his arm as well, and gave a light shove, the Daily Caller reported.

"Relax! Relax!" he said when Vittert recoiled and yelled, "Whoa!"

Vittert never got to ask his question.
