KXAN out of Austin ran a story about one of its own photographers getting attacked - and it was caught on tape:

However, while being attacked, KXAN photojournalist Julie Karam continued to keep the camera rolling and recorded the entire incident.

"In our business, if you know you're not going to get sound, and you know that you are doing the story anyway, you've got to at least get video of the accused," Karam said.
Never in her nine years as a photojournalist has she gotten this kind of response for doing her job.

"He grabs a hold of this (the viewfinder), grabs a hold of my camera and yanks it down over my shoulder," Karam said. "I'm thinking, 'This guy's going to hurt me.' That's how frightened I was. I didn't do anything to deserve it. Nobody deserves to be manipulated, prodded and touched in that way.
