According to a tweet from CNN senior editor Steve Brusk, 360 host Anderson Cooper was “punched 10 times in the head by supporters of embattled Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak while covering protests in that country.

In a follower up on CNN’s American Morning, Cooper said that he and his crew were attempting to get to a neutral zone when Murabek supporters attacked a group of protestors.

“We never got that far,” he said on the show. “We were set upon by pro-Mubarak supporters punching us in the head.” Cooper said that he and the crew tried to escape, but that the crowd only grew: “the crowd kept growing, kept throwing punches, kicks…suddenly a young man would look at you and punch you in the face.”
