A journalist has been arrested in the US while covering protests in the city of Minneapolis.

It happened during a live broadcast on the network CNN, which says reporter Omar Jimenez "clearly" identified himself to police.

Jimenez's crew - including a producer and a camera operator - were also placed in handcuffs.

The camera was taken by police but continued to record as the crew was handcuffed, with police seemingly unaware the camera was still on.
