Video footage taken from the ongoing protests in Brooklyn Heights, Minnesota show a CNN crew member being hit in the head with a bottle of water.
A second video reportedly shows protesters chasing CNN away from a police precinct, pelting their vehicle with eggs and food as they depart.
In the first video, an open, plastic water bottle spilled some fluid as it bounced off of the CNN crew member’s head. It sent him staggering backwards and falling onto the ground.
After standing back up, nearby protesters summoned a street medic while the man remained dazed.
“It’s all good. No worries,” the crew member said when questioned about his well-being following the attack. “All good,” he repeated while smiling.
In a second video, also posted the Washington Examiner reporter Nic Rowan, protesters reportedly chased the CNN crew away. In the video, people yell “Get the f*ck out of here!” as the men walk directly to their vehicle.
When another man walks up to one of the crew members brandishing a small item in his hand, the crew member puts up one hand and says, “We’re leaving. We don’t want any trouble.”
The protests have been in response to the lethal police shooting of Daunte Wright.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
