WXYZ & WWJ reporters safe after attacks on their vehicles during live broadcasts.

I'm not jumping to conclusions, but it is crucial to know the attacker(s) motive(s), post-Tampa.



My photographer and I are safe after a man interrupted our live shot and smashed our news truck windshield on Dexter and Davison in Detorit. Here’s a piece of what happened after he struck a @WWJ950 vehicle. The man has been detained. @wxyzdetroit

@NiaHardenWXYZ and photojournalist Mike Krotche were attacked this morning while covering a story on Detroit's west side. Thankfully, neither of them were injured.https://www.wxyz.com/news/7-action-news-crew-attacked-while-covering-story

Edited to add other attack:



WWJ’s Mike Campbell has a scare covering a fatal hit and run in Detroit. Dexter and Davison. While Mike was on the air LIVE- a guy starts smashing Mike’s vehicle. He’s not physically hurt.
