CBS News crew attacked near Chicago museum; suspects arrested

A CBS News reporter and photographer were attacked on Monday afternoon near the Adler Planetarium while preparing for a live report, according to Chicago police. The incident occurred around 4:25 p.m. in the 900 block of East Solidarity Drive. Multiple men arrived in a truck, exited the vehicle, and approached the journalists while shouting racial slurs, police reported. The men attempted to command a dog to attack the journalists, but when the dog did not respond, they began damaging the journalists' equipment. One suspect smashed the photographer's camera, while another damaged the windshield of the news truck. The two journalists were unharmed during the incident. Police later arrested multiple suspects in Brighton Park following a police chase, which reportedly involved a gun being pointed at another individual. A spokesperson for CBS expressed gratitude that their journalists were safe and stated that the incident is under investigation. Fox News Digital has reached out to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for comment.
