An ITN journalist who happened to be nearby when some students attempted to make a protest about Tibet in Beijing has been assaulted by security forces.

"I tried to explain to them that I was a British journalist but they would not even let me take out my identification documents," Mr Ray told reporters.

This was an assault in my mind. I am incredibly angry about this

"I have been roughed up. They dragged me, pulled me and knocked me to the ground. Now they are filming me," Mr Ray told the UK's Guardian newspaper from the back of the police van as he was driven away.

Mr Ray later told AFP news agency he had been held for about 20 minutes. The agency quoted the reporter and witnesses as saying that police officers had stamped on his hands while inside the restaurant.

At least he was released. The fate of the protestors is not known.
