Los Angeles, California — A cameraman for KTTV was attempting to document the reality of the day-to-day struggles on Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles.
The Cameraman describes the incident”
“Things turned bad in a hurry. We were in front of the Midnight Mission on 6th street, not even recording anything in particular at that moment, when out of nowhere a man grabbed our photographer’s camera, twisting it violently and breaking it. We were trying to calm him down as the crowd started yelling at us. He backed off, then grabbed the camera again, twisting off the viewfinder and destroying it.
Our cameraman called 911 and at least four LAPD cars showed up. A small group of officers confronted the man, still in front of the Mission, and essentially tackled him to the ground.”
