“Two medics with the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad are suing CNN and one of its award-winning international correspondents, Arwa Damon, over a July incident in which Damon allegedly bit them in a drunken rage.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in New York state Supreme Court, claims that Damon has “history of becoming intoxicated and then abusive,” according to the New York Daily News. Plaintiffs Charles Simons and Tracy Lamar, EMTs who were working for a private contractor, alleged in the suit that they were providing assistance to an intoxicated Damon when she bit and threatened them while saying that she was a “major reporter for CNN.”
