Just got assaulted attempting to cover an anti-eviction march in Detroit this afternoon. A member of the protest ‘security’ ran up, grabbed my camera and forced me against a building #Detroit #DetroitProtests

A man wearing an Antifa pin committed the first assault during the march. Camera stopped a few times while he attempted to steal it. Eventually, others in the group urged him aside to release me from against the building. #Detroit #Antifa #DetroitProtests

“You’re not f***ing welcome here.” A man wearing a Press patch then accosts me and tries to force me to leave, as the crowd marched through Greektown in Detroit #Detroit #DetroitProtests

Was able to capture a brief portion showing the original purpose of today’s demonstration, an anti-eviction march. The crowd chanted “Black homes are under attack, tell me what do we do, rise up fight back.” #Detroit #DetroitProtests

A man rammed me against a concrete fence and barricade, bloodying my mouth and elbow as well as putting me in a chokehold while stealing my camera. That was then thrown over a fence, which I eventually was able to retrieve and continue recording #Detroit

Had to leave for my own safety at this point. Lip is busted and am scraped up from the barricade. Praying no other reporters had to endure this while out today. #Detroit
