Video: EMS official, cameraman clash at NYC hazmat call

The cameraman was filming the aftermath of a chemical spill inside a commercial building

NEW YORK — Video posted online shows an altercation between a Suffolk County EMS officer and a WNBC cameraman in Bohemia, New York.

The cameraman was filming the aftermath of a chemical spill inside a commercial building that unleashed fumes, according to text posted beneath the video.

The video, which was posted last week, shows the Suffolk County EMS officer refusing to let go of the camera, which the cameraman repeatedly attempts to tug back. The posting said the camera was damaged in the altercation.

Eventually, a fire department official approaches the pair and separates them, leading the cameraman away from the main scene.
