Savage was with his dog, "Teddy", and finishing up dinner at Servino Restaurant in Tiburon, CA (north of San Francisco) when the unnamed assailant charged up to Savage and began yelling, "Hey Weiner", making fun of Savage's legal last name. The attacker then kicked the poodle out of the way so he could get to Michael and then grabbed Savage and threw him to the ground, according to an eyewitness who watched the attack along with several restaurant patrons.
Savage was not seriously hurt and his dog is OK but the incident left him bloodied and shaken.
I was able to contact Savage's attorney, Dan Horowitz who told me, exclusively:
"We're going to seek felony charges against the man and we're going to investigate this as a Hate Crime because of Michael's political views." *415 MEDIA EXCLUSIVE UPDATE --10: 35 PT
Savage just released this statement to me:
"I WAS LEAVING SERVINOS RESTAURANT WHEN A TOTAL STRANGER FOLLOWED ME OUT OF THE RESTAURANT AND CONFRONTED ME. HE SAID 'ARE YOU MICHAEL WEEENER"! I TURNED TO HIM AND SAID, 'GO AWAY, I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE"
I TURNED TO LEAVE AND HE PUSHED ME AND I FELL DOWN. HE MOVED TOWARD ME TO PUSH ME DOWN AND HE SHOVED MY 10 POUND POODLE OUT OF THE WAY TO GET TO ME. HE HAS LIED AND SAID I PUSHED HIM. THAT IS ABSURD. BOTH OF MY HANDS WERE HOLDING ONTO THINGS!

Savage and the Good Samaritan made a citizen’s arrest, but when the police arrived, the officers released the attacker after listening to each man claim the other started the fight.
Savage said the guy clearly had a “beef” with him.
The conservative radio host was one of Trump’s most outspoken supporters during the presidential campaign, having him as a frequent guest on Savage Nation, which draws about 10 million weekly listeners.
Savage just published a new book this week entitled, Trump’s War: His Battle for America.
Hopefully, there is video.
Does anybody know the whereabouts of Mark Levin at the time this happened?

The guy was obviously mocking Savage's style of exaggerating vowel syllables to make fun of sensitive liberals, that might "hurt their feeeelings."
