Trump supporter attacks BBC cameraman at El Paso rally
Source: BBC
A supporter of US President Donald Trump has attacked a BBC cameraman at a campaign rally in El Paso, Texas.
Sporting a Make America Great Again cap, the man shoved and swore at the BBC's Ron Skeans and other news crews before being pulled away.
Mr Skeans said the "very hard shove" came from his blindside. "I didn't know what was going on."
...
Ms Montague said the protester had attacked other news crews but Mr Skeans "got the brunt of it".

The BBC showed footage of the cult member being taken out of the space. I don't know if he was arrested. But tRUMP says his cult member was drunk, so it's ok.

Most of the articles right now are from the UK. There's no report on what, if anything, happened to the guy as of yet.

Somebody knows this guy. He needs to answer to the law.

(6,618 posts)Maybe shitler's comment is what triggered the attack.
In any case, I hope the image of the attacker's face goes viral and he's caught.
