Summary
A CBS2 reporter and photographer were violently attacked near the Adler Planetarium by three men who allegedly hurled racial slurs, tried to sic their dog on the photographer, and smashed their equipment and a news truck’s windshield. All three suspects have been charged with serious offenses—including hate crimes, aggravated assault, and resisting arrest—with one facing a hate crime charge specifically. Though no one was physically injured, the incident has sparked outrage from journalism organizations demanding justice and highlighting the dangers faced by reporters, especially when bias and violence target the press.
