Boško Branković is suffering from a fractured leg, doctors at the Belgrade Emergency Center said. The incident took place near the Turkish Embassy.
The third day of protests, that gathered several hundred people earlier on Thursday, ended at 18:30 CET after SRS official Božidar Delić addressed the crowd.
The demonstrators, mostly coming from nationalist organizations and helped by the Radicals (SRS), went for a protest walk, that included a stop at the Turkish Embassy where firecrackers were thrown, and in front of President Boris Tadić's office, where they shouted insults.
RDP B92 has issued a statement this afternoon condemning the incident and asking the authorities to identify and punish the perpetrators.
Branković was attacked when he tried to film the mob assaulting a FoNet photographer, it has emerged.
The statement adds that the incident took place near police officers who did not react.
The cameraman has suffered a broken leg under and torn ligaments in his knee.
B92 is calling on all professional associatons and colleagues to join us in condemnation of this incident.
