WSB-TV Photographer Assaulted in SW Atlanta

Tuesday, March 16, – updated: 5:33 am EST March 16, 2004

A WSB-TV/Channel 2 news photographer was assaulted early Tuesday in southwest Atlanta by a group of men who threatened to shoot him.

Luis Argumedes told police he was in a marked station news van that was parked on Sylvan Circle when four men approached the vehicle around 1 a.m. One of the men pulled out a gun and ordered him out of the van, Argumedes said.

The suspects struck him on the head with the weapon before Argumedes fled from the scene. He told police the men argued over who would shoot him.

No suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident. Anyone with information was asked to call Atlanta police.
