K.D Knight rebukes Ruel Reid for taking his picture in Senate

Government senator Ruel Reid drew the ire of senior opposition senator K.D. Knight in the Senate this morning and was rebuked sharply.
Reid using his cellphone seemingly sought to take a photograph of Knight and had to retreat quickly.
With a provocative grin on his face, Reid, in a move uncharacteristic of him, held his mobile phone directed at Knight who quickly rose and stopped him.
A visibly upset Knight warned Reid "don't do it", wagging his finger in his direction.
Reid's colleague Government senator Ransford Braham rose to his defence, apparently oblivious of the senator's prank.

Knight quickly urged Braham not to intervene suggesting he was unaware of what occurred.
Reid's action did not escape Senate President Tom Tavares Finson who chided him, saying it was inappropriate for him to use his mobile phone to take a picture of Knight.
The exchange became a distraction as senators debated a resolution to extend the State of Public Emergency in the St Catherine North Police Division.
