VIDEO: Reporter attacked on camera

This video was all over the place today, but it is still so amazing that I will throw it in. A San Diego reporter gets attacked and it's all caught on camera.

Ron Burgandy never had a day in San Diego like this I bet. Well he did have that big anchor brawl. But this reporter at XETV has enough of his own problems to get in a squabble with the likes of a fake 70's anchorman and his TV team (the video links are on the right side of this article) :
FOX 6 investigative journalist John Mattes was attacked by a couple he was investigating, and was hospitalized, on Tuesday.

During Tuesday's incident Mattes suffered cracked ribs, bite wounds and cuts to his face all of which was captured on video and ended with two arrests.
My Burgandy jokes aside, Mattes was OK enough to sit down for "an exclusive" interview with his own station on the matter. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
