New York Post’s Toby Canham was injured by rubber bullet during protests against immigration raids
A police officer shot a New York Post photojournalist in the head with a rubber bullet during pro-immigration protests and riots in Los Angeles.
The incident occurred on Sunday night as Toby Canham was photographing a standoff between protesters and the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
According to the Post, Canham was wearing his press pass when he was struck and fell to the ground. He spent Monday in the hospital with whiplash and neck pain, and was left with a large bruise on his forehead, the paper reported.
“When I got whacked, to my best recollection, it was just me filming with my cameras on – and then I got shot,” Canham said. “I wasn’t surrounded, so I was an easy target.”
He added that shortly before he was hit, someone to his left had thrown a bottle at officers and then fled the scene.
