A CNN crew was arrested on live TV as they covered protests in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd.
Correspondent Omar Jimenez, and the crew with him, were handcuffed and detained by Minnesota State Police just after 5 a.m. local time, according to the network.
The crew was informed they were being detained because they were told to move and did not, one member said.
Officers in body armor and riot gear moved toward the crew after they first arrested a protester behind them, the live feed shows.
Jimenez identified himself as a CNN reporter, and told the officers the crew would move to wherever they were told.
