The muggers pisto-whipped one camera man before stealing the equipment.

The San Francisco Chronicle studies (http://tinyurl.com/nr7oxnp) that the theft and assault occurred at about 6 a.m. Thursday alongside the town’s waterfront.

“Hold on, hold on wait!”

“Cara, you still there?” “There was an incident out here”. “Not exactly sure what’s going on”.

“What’s going on out there, Cara, doing okay?” he asked back. “Hopefully, she’s doing OK, first off”.

The news crews showed up to report the story and ended up being robbed. The gunman ordered KNTV reporter Kris Sanchez to get on the ground and struck Waples again before fleeing in the BMW, which was driven by someone else, the station said. Sanchez yelled. Shortly after, Liu and other crew members can be seen running away, as the other news crew is robbed.

Waples was treated fpr head injuries. His ear was cut but he was checked by the paramedics along the Embarcadero and declared to be fine. Another crew was attacked and robbed in February in Hayward after filming a Powerball lottery segment at a convenience store. The suspects are still at large.

According to the Chronicle, Bay Area news crews have recently stepped up their security because of a string of thefts targeting them.

The heists have forced many television stations in the area to hire guards to accompany crews.

Police detained a “person of interest”, but released no further details about the shooting.

That homicide, a possibly random attack on a 31-year-old Pleasanton woman, occurred at around 6:30 p.m. last night. He began CPR before paramedics rushed her to the hospital.
