On Spring Street #occupyLA (043)



A man with blood on his face and hands shouts that another man purposefully struck him with a video camera during the "Occupy Los Angeles" protest at City Hall in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 29, 2011.

(Photographer's note: I did not witness the incident that caused the injury. A reliable bystander told me he believed the injury came from being hit with a camera, which supports what I heard stated as I photographed. Also, please note that the man reportedly causing the injury is not the man in the gray tank top -- he appeared to be trying to resolve the issue. If you know more about what happened, feel free to post in the comments, but please try to be as clear as possible and please keep it strictly factual.)
