A fight broke out between Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and former Dallas councilman Dwaine Caraway at a Dallas radio station on Monday.
The two are in a fierce battle for the District 3 commissioner’s court seat that Price has held for decades. Their heated argument started inside the KHVN Heaven 970 AM studios during a commercial break for a candidate roundtable debate.

At one point, MyFox7 reports Caraway is heard shouting an allegation of a personal nature about his wife and Price. Afterward, Caraway would not explain what he meant. He only said there is more to the video.
“I have no comments about that, none at all. Leave that alone,” he said.
Dallas police were called to the station after the incident and took statements from people involved. Police said detectives were working to interview everyone and see if any charges should be filed.
“You see me screaming, but what you should do is call for the full release of the entire video and you'll see why we were screaming, They're not showing him up in the air with the Commissioner’s hands around his throat,” Caraway said.
The two men were separated and taken to other rooms to cool off. They eventually came back and gave short closing statements, ending the debate an hour earlier than scheduled.
The Dallas Morning News reports on Tuesday Price broke his silence on Monday’s fight as a second video emerged that appeared to show his hand reaching for the neck of a Caraway staffer.
“Let me just say I am embarrassed for our community,” Price told HipHop KKDA 104.5 FM. “I apologize to our community. Other people want to see this stuff stirred, but unfortunately, there just seemed to have been a meltdown yesterday and we’re all worse for it. I want to apologize.”
Price made clear that his apology was “to the community” and not to his rival. But he said he was “already past it.”
