Watch: A News Team Get Robbed During A Live Report

A video has emerged online of a news crew being robbed at gunpoint just as they were due to deliver a live report.

The footage posted to YouTube, shows the moment the terrified KTVU reporter runs away from the camera, saying "there is an incident out here."

The reporter suddenly gets distracted and is clearly in shock as her cameraman is pistol whipped in front of her.

Four sets of reporters and cameramen were reporting from the scene of a murder at a pier in San Francisco after a woman, who had been walking with her dad, was shot dead.

The attackers escaped with cameras and tripods.

The incident occurred last month and since then there have been other reports of similar incidents.
