Congressman threatens reporter after State of the Union speech?

This may be the biggest news to come out of the State of the Union address this night:



New York Rep. Michael Grimm threatens reporter after being asked about fundraising allegations

Quote:

WASHINGTON — Embattled New York Republican Rep. Michael Grimm threatened to "break" a NY1 reporter and throw him off a balcony after President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night. The confrontation occurred on Capitol Hill when reporter Michael Scotto followed up questions about the President's speech by pressing the congressman on a federal investigation into his fund-raising. “Congressman Michael Grimm does not want to talk about some of the allegations concerning his campaign finances ... but as you saw he refused to talk about that,” Scotto said as Grimm began to walk away. Hearing Scotto’s comment, Grimm turned and walked toward the NY1 reporter. "Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I'll throw you off this ******* balcony,” Grimm said, according to the cable news channel.

He also allegedly threatened to "break [the reporter] in half".



Could this be true? If it is, sounds like a career-ender to me.
