CNN Crew Attacked by Rioters in Atlanta, GA

‘So there were four or five of us, and it just got a bit chaotic in the moment’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BLITZER: “You were there, you had a photojournalist, a producer, there were three of you. Did you have any security with you?
CHEN: “One, yes. One security person who was helping us out. Another set of eyes to keep a look out for us. And I think — actually, I should back up a little bit, we had two photojournalists actually, one with the camera and another person who is operating on my view, what would help us — broadcast to all of you, broadcast the images to you. So there were four or five of us, and it just got a bit chaotic in the moment. I was trying to record cell phone video while the photojournalist was recording video on his camera, the next thing I know I’m turning around and I see these two protesters really going after the camera, and that’s when I was told that, you know, we should get out of there.”
