lara logan attack

lara logan attack in the town of Tahrir Square after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak when he and his team backed security and they are surrounded by a mob of more than 200 people, the network said in a statement Tuesday.

Apart from the crew in the middle of crush of the masses, he suffered what CBS called the "brutal and sustained  assault and beatings." He was rescued by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.

 harassment of women is the event all-too-common on the streets of Cairo. But many women's records are incomplete in the early days of protest in Tahrir Square, where demonstrators made a point of trying to create a microcosm of society without many of Egypt's social ills.

A week earlier, Logan and his crew were detained by Egyptian police outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo, which is one of the many reports of journalists have increasingly become targets - were detained, harassed or beaten up - during the protest.
