Some idiot pointed a laser at KSAT’s News Chopper.

The station says that KSAT 12's helicopter pilot, William "Dusty" Brittain, was flying some 1500 feet in the air over downtown San Antonio, getting beauty shots of the city and preparing for the newscast, when an intense green light filled the cockpit.

"(It was) very distracting, very disorienting, initially. Luckily, I was hit on the side of the aircraft instead of straight on. In the past, I've been hit straight on, and it can be very debilitating, can damage your eyes," he said.

Brittain serached to find the source of the light. He said someone was shining a laser light at him more than two miles away.

"We made the circle of downtown, went along the side of where (Interstate) 35 and I-10 come to play, there at the Santa Rosa Children's Hospital, and got hit again," Brittain said.

Brittain says he noticed the light was coming from a VIA bus terminal on Frio Street. The photographer who was with Brittain was able to capture someone playing with a green laser.

Brittain radioed the incident in, and the person was arrested.

"They've implemented laws to take care of these issues," he said.

The person who was arrested will likely face federal charges.
