The Freddie Gray protests in Baltimore continued last night, and more journalists were attacked and beaten while covering the story. Carrie Wells, a finance reporter for The Baltimore Sun, said Chris Assaf was attacked while taking pictures.
“People around were yelling at him ‘stop taking pictures,’ ran after him and tackled him, beat him while he laid on the ground,” tweeted Wells. Later, Assaf posted a photo of the aftermath:
Abrasion to the face–right cheek. Pain okay; not the only one in emergency room who got beat up tonight.
