Reporter attacked and chased while covering traffic accident in Saltillo, Mexico

"Tele Saltillo reporter Jerson Cardozo was assaulted the morning of Friday, April 17, during a live broadcast he was conducting to report on a car rollover in [the city of Saltillo, in the Mexican state of Coahuila].

Videos show that […] companions of the driver physically attacked and chased the journalist. The footage also shows the presence of a Saltillo traffic officer, who did not intervene and even allowed those involved […] to leave the scene.

[…]

The Coahuila Journalists Network expressed its rejection and outrage over the attack on the reporter […]. It said that this new episode of violence cannot and should not be normalized, and that it is another case […] that contributes to increasing the risk for those who carry out the work of informing the public.”
