A Las Vegas man said he was assaulted by two men Friday following a verbal exchange about Michael Moore's controversial documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Richard Streeter, 62, said he had just seen the movie at Regal Cinemas' Village Square 18, and stopped to look at a group distributing fliers in support of the film.

Streeter, who is a fan of Moore, said a man took offense to his comment....

Streeter said the man who spit {sic; it's supposed to be "spat"} in his face got into a white Lincoln Continental and drove away. Streeter, who was on the phone with a 911 operator, told the operator he would not leave until police arrived at the strip mall at Sahara Avenue and Fort Apache Road.

Streeter said the man who had trailed him into the parking lot then pushed him, causing him to fall to the pavement, hit his head and break his fall with his right hand.

"We went to see a movie about how ridiculous violence is," Streeter said. "I'd like to think Michael Moore can make a difference. But five minutes after I get out of the movie, I get assaulted by two guys."
