Fan Reports of Incident Involving WWE Diva at the Washington Auto Show

Fan reports from wrestlingnewsworld.com:

I was at the Washington Auto Show last night where Maria was signing autographs, and some guy apparently lunged into her, being grabby, and he was swarmed by 2 or 3 security guards and taken out of the building. I was about 15 feet away and talking to my friend when we saw security rushing the dude.

Another report:

Maria was at the Washington Auto Show last night and a man who I think had been waiting in line behind people to meet her kind of rushed her... And I think he was trying to grab her breasts or something but he literally grabbed her and was squeezing her when security rushed over and threw him down and then took him away, don't know what happened to the guy but Maria was pretty shaken up and after a few minutes she went back to signing autographs.
