A cameraman was attacked and his camera stolen while filming a live report yesterday, says the San Francisco Chronicle.

Viewers at home saw the live picture “jarred and turned sideways for about two seconds.” Police say it’s the latest in the string of robberies that have targeted the media. VIDEO below:
