A CNN camera crew was attacked outside an Atlanta Wendy�s restaurant, which later burned down on Saturday night during riots sparked by the officer-involved shooting of a black man.

CNN reporter Natasha Chen confirmed on Twitter that one of the camera crew members was attacked by a person with a skateboard. She later told anchor Wolf Blitzer that a security official advised them to leave because the situation was escalating.

�A photojournalist, our producer, and I were trying to get video of what was happening and there were protesters very angry that we were recording this and tried to block our cameras, to block us,� Chen said on the broadcast. �So, the journalist�s camera and to block my cell phone [to prevent us] from taking video.�
