Post-Dispatch reporter Paul Hampel was beaten, bloodied and robbed by a group of attackers as he covered the Ferguson protests Sunday night.

Hampel said he was taking photos and videos of break-ins along West Florissant Avenue shortly before he was attacked. Suddenly, he said, he was rushed from behind.

“I got swarmed, beaten down really bad,” he said.

The attackers punched him in the face, hit him in the head at least three times and kicked him in the back of the head when he was on the ground, Hampel said.

The attackers took his phone and wallet and left. Hampel headed back to the police line and encountered New York Times photographer Whitney Curtis. He told her he needed an ambulance.

Someone laid him down on the grass and he doesn’t remember much after that.
 
Considering he was in an area rife with break-ins, it isn't too surprising when a group of them gang up on a dumbass white man trying to get a story. It's not hard to imagine that kind of thing might happen, especially when you are taking pictures and video with your phone (if that's what he was doing). They probably just wanted the phone to keep from being IDed.
 
Look at the middle east as a prime example, these guys are willing to get their melons sawed off to get pictures of people living 1000 years in the past killing each other.
