A team of reporters from Press TV satellite news network have come under attack by an angry mob of caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri's supporters.

The journalists' convoy was assaulted on Tuesday as the team was relaying a report to the channel's office in Tehran.

Press TV correspondent Mariam Saleh who was reporting the riots by Hariri supporters in Beirut sustained injuries in the attack.

The clash came to an end after the Lebanese army intervened.

The rioters who have been blocking roads and burning tires in several Lebanese cities also attacked a convoy belonging to the Qatari-based al-Jazeera news channel. They destroyed the vehicle before setting it ablaze.
