A WTVR CBS 6 photojournalist was assaulted by a protester in Richmond Sunday night.

The station is not naming the Photog that was attacked and was not on the clock at the time of the attack. 

The station says that the photographer was using his phone to record video of a large crowd of protesters passing by The Camel, a live music venue, on West Broad Street.

“Stop filming bro,” one protester yelled.

“I can film whatever I want,” the Photog replied. “Get out of my face.”

At that point video showed the photographer's phone knocked out of his hands. Video then captured a protester hit the photojournalist with what he described as a big stick.

Police officers responded and the photojournalist was transported via ambulance to the hospital, where he received four staples in his skull. He was later released from the hospital.

"This is not a peaceful protest," he wrote.

It is interesting that the station is not naming the Photographer that was attacked. The guy is an employee, it's not like they don't know his name? 

When it comes to Who? What? Where? When? and Why? 

"Who" is the very first one. 

Would the station given the same treatment to a regular citizen that was attacked?
