A scary story out of KTVU in Oakland....

Word is that KTVU Reporter Cara Liu, was beaten by a female assailant on Sunday afternoon while covering a homicide story at a local flea market. 

Liu was on the scene when she was confronted and beaten up and struck repeatedly.

While shaken and unnerved, Liu is OK and recovering, according to a station sources who indicated her injuries was not serious.
