Getty Images photographer Scott Olson was arrested Monday evening during protests in Ferguson.
Reporters on the scene captured photos and videos of his arrest. An Instagram video appears to show Olson as police tie the photographer's hands behind his back.
"Media are required to be in a certain area," Olson comments. He goes on to identify himself as a photographer with Getty Images.
"We strongly object to his arrest and are committed to ensuring he is able to resume his important work of capturing some of the most iconic images of this news story," Getty Images VP Pancho Bernasconi said in a statement Monday night. He said Getty is "working to secure his release as soon as possible."
Getty managed to capture several pictures of Olson being arrested, and identified him in their captions. But Olson has been in Ferguson since early last week, and has taken some of the most memorable pictures of what has happened there since 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot by a police officer on August 9.
