A CNN news crew was attacked as the network was trying to cover protests and riots following the shooting death of Daunte Wright earlier this week in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.

According to video footage posted by a Washington Examiner reporter, Nick Rowan, a crew member was seen speaking to protesters when what appeared to be a frozen bottle of water was thrown at his head.
