A film crew for the Australian edition of “60 Minutes” was attacked Tuesday by a group of masked men while filming a segment on the European refugee crisis in a suburb of Stockholm.
Swedish news website Avpixlat reported the crew ran into trouble when they tried to film in Rinkeby. As the crew entered the suburb, a man drove up to a camera and asked why they wanted to film there, then deliberately drove over the cameraman’s foot, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Avpixlat reported that six police officers were assigned to protect the crew, but they left suddenly and the situation escalated. A group of masked men reportedly circled the TV crew and began to attack them, throwing punches and glass bottles.
One cameraman “was beaten right across the chin so that a tooth [came] loose,” Avpixlat, which partnered with Australian news Channel Nine for the ‘60 Minutes’ segment reported.

Well, I imagine they went there to show how sad and desperate it was for the refugees, but things backfired. Gee, wonder what could have provoked them?
