Scuffle Breaks Out On-Air When Protestor Interrupts CBS Reporter
A scuffle between a very loud protestor, a CBS crew member, and reporter Jay Levine interrupted broadcasts on two networks yesterday, prompting mounted police to secure the scene.
Levine was reporting on President Obama's Chicago visit when the protestor rushed him, grabbing the microphone and yelling, "Obama is a war criminal." Although the CBS feed cut off at that point, NBC Chicago's Mary Ann Ahern was standing nearby and captured the rest of the action.
Levine, with the aid of three mounted police officers, was able to finish his report.
