One of the men tried to sic his dog on the news crew.<\/p>\n<p>When the dog didn&#8217;t attack the crew, one of the men broke the photographer&#8217;s camera and another man smashed the news van&#8217;s windshield with a traffic cone.<\/p>\n<p>All three men jumped back in the tow truck and sped off.
