A CBS affiliate journalist was reportedly attacked in Richmond, Virginia, by a protester on Sunday night—in the aftermath of the deadly violence in Charlottesville.

The journalist, who was not working for the station when the incident took place, used his phone to record a crowd of demonstrators with signs protesting “against white supremacy.”

CBS 6 posted a video of the incident.

It showed demonstrators marching and chanting.

“Stop filming,” one person said before the journalist’s phone was apparently knocked down.

“I can film whatever I want,” the CBS 6 staffer said. “Get out of my face.”
