A CBS News Chicago reporter and photographer faced a frightening ordeal when they were attacked near the Adler Planetarium during a shoot on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on East Solidarity Drive, where two men in a white truck approached them, shouting racial slurs at one of the journalists. The attackers damaged the photographer’s camera and the news truck’s windshield and attempted to sic a dog on them, though the dog did not attack. Fortunately, both journalists escaped unharmed. Following a police pursuit, three individuals were arrested in Brighton Park, linked to a separate incident involving a gun. CBS expressed shock and relief that their team was safe, and the investigation continues.
