An ADN photographer was attacked, and his phone stolen, while he was reporting a story. Police are investigating.
It happened in Anchorage. We don’t know who the assailant was and we’re not fully sure why it happened. We know an ADN photographer was attacked, and his phone stolen, while he was reporting a story. Police are investigating. Here’s what happened:, with mail-in voting underway the past couple weeks. Tuesday is election day, the final day to vote. Campaigning is reaching a peak.
One place where there have been incidents of vandalism is at Minnesota Drive and 100th Avenue in South Anchorage. A sign there for School Board candidate Andy Holleman was defaced earlier in the week. The reporter working on the story, in talking with a range of candidates and campaigns, spoke with someone with the Ship Creek Group, a consulting firm that’s working on several campaigns, including Holleman’s. Other signs at that location had been damaged.
The man — who was wearing gray clothing, a hat and reflective sunglasses, with a black cloth mask decorated with a small American flag covering the lower part of his face — told Holmes that he was in the process of replacing the signs. And he said he didn’t want his picture taken. Holmes pointed out they were standing in a public place and asked the man his name. He wouldn’t say. Holmes expressed confusion, given that arrangements had been made to meet a specific person from Ship Creek Group.
The man eventually forced the phone out of Holmes’ hand and stepped back. Holmes called 911 on his smartwatch and told the dispatcher he’d been the victim of an assault and theft. Hearing the call, the man threw Holmes’ phone some distance into the snow and took off running. Holmes made a photo with a camera as the man ran away, then Holmes pinged the phone with his watch and found the phone in the snow.
