TV Reporter Sucker-Punched During Live Shot

A television reporter covering a protest in Mexico was knocked unconscious by a sucker-punch while delivering alive report.

Reporter Juan Manuel Jimenez was reporting live from a large demonstration against gender violence, which was sparked by reports that two teenage girls were raped by police officers in Mexico City. Jimenez did his best to keep his composure as protesters shouted at him and threw objects at him, but then a man suddenly came up behind him and hit with a right hook to the chin which dropped him to the ground and knocked him unconscious.

The attacker was then spray-painted by protesters and assaulted as he weaved his way through the crowd. It's unknown if he's been arrested yet. Jimenez later went on Twitter and thanked his followers for their support. He added that he's filed a report with police.
