A CNN camera crew was attacked outside an Atlanta Wendy’s restaurant, which later burned down on Saturday night during riots sparked by the officer-involved shooting of a black man.

CNN reporter Natasha Chen confirmed on Twitter that one of the camera crew members was attacked by a person with a skateboard. She later told anchor Wolf Blitzer that a security official advised them to leave because the situation was escalating.
