CBS Reporters Attacked Downtown | Chicago News

Three CBS reporters were violently attacked downtown near the Alder Planetarium by three men who hurled racist slurs, tried to sic their dog on a Black photographer, smashed his camera, shattered the news van’s windshield, and fled in a white truck—all while the journalists remained physically unharmed. Witnesses confirmed the assault, and police have identified three suspects. CBS condemned the attack, calling it horrifying yet relieved the crew escaped injury. The incident underscores the real dangers journalists face and the persistent threat of prejudice—even in public spaces. Authorities are now investigating to hold perpetrators accountable.
