“The LAPD are moving in on horseback and firing rubber bullets at protesters,” Tomasi told viewers, as loud bangs echoed across Downtown LA.
Suddenly, a police officer swung his weapon towards her, and a cloud of smoke erupted near the correspondent. Caught on camera, Tomasi doubled over in pain, live on air.
“You just f***ing shot a reporter!” a furious protester screamed at police, as others rushed to help the injured Aussie.
Despite the shocking moment, Tomasi managed to yell back, “I’m good, I’m good.”
