An Australian television journalist reporting live from downtown Los Angeles amid the large-scale protests over President Trump's immigration crackdown was hit in the leg by a rubber bullet, her network said.

Lauren Tomasi, a 9News correspondent, was reporting live on Sunday when an officer behind her suddenly raised their firearm and fired a nonlethal round at close range, video shows . Tomasi, who doesn't appear to be wearing personal protective equipment, cries out in pain and clutches her lower leg as the cameraman quickly pans away and they move away from the police line.

"You just (expletive) shot the reporter," a voice off-camera can be heard shouting.

Tomasi can be heard reassuring her crew she was OK: "Yeah, I'm good, I'm good."
