Black reporter arrested during Daunte Wright protest

A journalist covering the Daunte Wright protests has told how he was arrested by police after going to the aid of a lost motorist caught up in the traffic gridlock.

Harry Colbert, Editor-in-Chief of North News, was live-streaming on Facebook as he was arrested and handcuffed, while trying to help the driver  who was lost and asking for directions.

The video shows police officers banging on the motorist’s car with their fists and sticks and telling him to “Get out of here now”. It also shows Mr Colbert asking the officers to help the driver.
