MOSCOW, November 25 (Sputnik) - A producer working for the RT-owned video news agency Ruptly was injured during protests in the US city of Ferguson, RT's editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said Tuesday.
"Our producer was hurt during the unrest in Ferguson," Simonyan said on Twitter.

Protests erupted in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson after a grand jury chose not to press charges against white police officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown in August.
