Ben Carson is currently in trouble for, at the very least, a moment in which he says he attempted to stab his friend. Here is video of that pivotal incident, as depicted in the Cuba Gooding Jr.-starring straight-to-TV adaptation of Carson’s memoir, Gifted Hands.

The stabbing scene is immediately preceded by one in which Carson attempts to bash his mother’s head in with a hammer because she bought him the wrong kind of pants.

The interesting thing about the film’s portrayal of the stabbing is that it represents an extreme escalation of the story.

In Carson’s book, he says that he went to stab his friend Bob after Bob changed the dial on the radio they were listening to, but the blade of his knife struck Bob’s belt buckle and broke. In the movie, Carson’s character dramatically plunges his knife into Bob’s gut like something out of Oz.
