Anderson Cooper Attacked In Egypt (Video)
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and his crew were attacked by an angry mob of pro-government forces -- supporters of Egypt's controversial President Mubarak in Cairo, Egypt earlier today.
Cooper was covering dueling demonstrations between pro-Mubarak supporters and the anti-government protesters when he and his crew came under attack.
"The attackers pushed and shoved the CNN crew and punched them in the head, he said, but no one was seriously hurt," according to a report on CNN.com.
The anchor was "punched 10 times in the head," CNN producer Steve Brusk Tweeted.
Cooper and his crew escaped to a nearby roof and no major injuries were reported.
"My team were set upon by the crowd," Cooper said on CNN this morning via telephone from the safety of a hotel balcony. "There was no rhyme or reason to it-it was just people looking for a fight, looking to make a point, and punching us."
