COLUMBIA, South Carolina  -- Three family members became irate at the  reporting on the arrest of a relative and attacked the television reporter while  yelling racial slurs at her and a photographer, authorities said..

The family members began yelling and charged at black WSPA-TV reporter Charmayne Brown while she was standing in the street near the family's home in Union.

Brown was punched in the head, and cameraman Ti Barnes was also struck as he tried to pull family members off Brown. A video of the attack shows Brown, who wasn't seriously injured, defending herself.
