BIG RAPIDS -- U.S. Senator Carl Levin was hit in the face with a Dutch apple pie during an appearance at a Western Michigan restaurant yesterday. Levin was speaking to members of the Mecosta County Democratic Party in Big Rapids when a 23-year-old woman walked up to him and hit him with the pie.

The woman, Ahlam Mohsen, is a 23-year-old senior at Michigan State University, and was arrested on assault and battery charges. Other charges are being considered against her and 23-year-old Max Kantar, a Ferris State student who accompanied Mohsen to the event. Levin says he wasn’t hurt, but says they probably hurt their cause.

He also said at least he was hit with Michigan Apples, but said he prefers blueberry, to eat, not to wear.
