A WABC crew covering multiple stabbings in Jersey City became the victims of an attempted burglary.
A station news van was parked outside of the Jersey City Medical Center as reporter Phil Lipof and a photographer covered the story of local man who had stabbed his wife and four children in a domestic dispute.
According to The Star-Ledger, a man smashed through one of the van’s windows and made off with an armful of electronics.
