A tense moment played out on CNN's air Tuesday when a police officer trying to clear an area where demonstrators had been protesting immigration raids in Los Angeles confronted a reporter for the network seemingly caught in the chaos.

As CNN's Kyung Lah was reporting live from the demonstrations, the camera caught Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers telling her and other members of CNN's crew that they needed to leave the area.

As Lah attempted to break through the crowd and get away, an officer was heard yelling "are you grabbing me? Get away from me!"

"No, I didn't," the reporter shouted back.
