BBC says its cameraman was attacked at Trump rally


BBC cameraman attacked at Trump rally

The BBC says that one of its photojournalists was attacked Monday while covering President Donald Trump's rally in El Paso, Texas.

"BBC cameraman Ron Skeans was violently pushed and shoved by a member of the crowd," the broadcaster said in a statement. "The man was removed by security and Ron is fine."

Video released by the BBC appears to show a man wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat coming into contact with a cameraman and swearing before being led away.

"I didn't know what was going on," Skeans told the BBC. He described the contact as a "very hard shove."
