Student sues GOP senator for allegedly snatching phone

A Georgia Tech University student filed a lawsuit against Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) on Monday for allegedly snatching a cellphone out of the student’s hands in an incident that was caught on video.

Nate Knauf filed a the civil battery complaint against Perdue in the Fulton County State Court, according to a statement from Atlanta-based law firm Dreyer Sterling, LLC.

The complaint follows a Oct. 13 incident at the university’s campus when Knauf attempted to ask Perdue about his endorsement of Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp (R).

Kemp, Georgia’s secretary of state who oversees elections, has been accused of seeking to suppress minority voter registration and is being sued by the Georgia chapter of the NAACP.
