A journalist (whose name is being withheld for security reasons) who was covering the demonstration was the victim of physical attacks by a municipal police officer while making a live broadcast. The reporter said the police woman grabbed her roughly by the neck. When she identified herself as a journalist, the police woman squeezed her harder until she released her. The aggression caused discomfort in the journalist's neck, for which she required medical attention.
