Rivers was reporting from Peckham, a South London borough, while dressed in combat gear. As he was speaking to the camera, he suddenly ducked and started running, saying that bottles were being thrown at him.
The BBC and Sky News are understood to have used hired private security guards to accompany their cameramen for the past two nights, after they attracted hostility on Saturday. Both those broadcasters pulled out their TV crews from Tottenham at 1am on Sunday morning, after the first wave of violent protests earlier on Saturday evening.
