CNN Correspondent Hit with Pepper Spray on Live TV: ‘It Definitely Does Hurt’

CNN correspondent Ryan Young was hit by pepper spray from Baltimore police officers as they arrested an unruly protester. The man apparently interrupted peaceful demonstrators by throwing objects into the crowd, and possibly at police.

“So this calm thing has turned over very quickly,” Young said. “I just got sprayed on the back of my face. The cops will be able to do this. It definitely does hurt.”
