A heated confrontation unfolded in downtown Los Angeles between a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer and ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman during a live broadcast covering ongoing riots.<\/h3>\n

The clash occurred as Gutman reported live for ABC News Live near a federal building downtown, which has become the main starting point for the protests and riots sparked by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations to deport illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

In the video footage, an LAPD officer confronts Gutman and accuses him of making aggressive contact with another officer.<\/p>\n

The officer shouted, \u201cYou touched my partner! Don\u2019t touch my partner! I\u2019m letting you know! Don\u2019t touch him!\u201d The officer also shoves the reporter away from him.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re pushing me on live television,\u201d Gutman said, adding that \u201ctensions are extremely high here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes! Because you touched the officer!\u201d the officer shouts.<\/p>\n

A second officer joined to back up the first, scolding the reporter and telling him not to touch the officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe clearly didn\u2019t touch the officers,\u201d Gutman claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes you did!\u201d the original officer said.<\/p>\n

WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.<\/p>\n

The confrontation took place against the backdrop of nearly ten days of protests and riots in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, one of our own reporters was shot with a rubber bullet and a tear gas canister during the chaos.<\/p>\n
